A public transport advocate believes we're paying the price for a lack of investment in trains. 

Only 22.5% of Wairarapa trains arrived within five minutes of being on schedule in April. 

It's a slight improvement from February, which had only around 5% of trains within target. 

Jon Reeves from the Public Transport Users Association told Mike Hosking that there's a lot to catch up on. 

He says new trains are coming in 2028 and there are issues with tracks and tunnels, impacting both passengers and freight.
