Wellington to Waikanae (New Zealand) - Drivers Eye View at 3 times full speed Timsvideochannel1: Hi Antony, there are only two sections of single track remaining. The section around the Kapiti coast before Paekakarki and the last mile or so into Waikanae. I am not aware of any firm plans to double the remaining sections of single track.
But I would be interested to know if there are plans to electrify the whole route between Wellington and Auckland (different voltages are not a problem in Europe) as the non electrified sections have been reduced by the extension of suburban electrification

The government of the day will have to a make a choice between removing the wires or buying new dual voltage electric locos and filling in the electrification gaps. Predicting the actions of politicians is harder than predicting the weather. I think you will see electrification completed in your life time as to remove the wires would be political suicide.

15 Is a great age. Old enough to understand, yet young enough to have most of your life ahead of you. I think the day of reckoning for NIMT electrification will come when the current electric locos are life expired.
