Mr Gair commends Railways
PA Wellington The Railways Corporation’s latest profit of $23.9 million was a good one, reflecting great credit on the board, management and staff, said the Opposition spokesman on Railways, Mr George Gair, yesterday. The level of subsidy indicated the corporation was making encouraging progress with improved efficiency and productivity, he said. “The restructuring of
Railways initiated by the National Government must be allowed to proceed,” he said. “That means that every support must be given to the corporation to ensure that it is backed strongly in taking, and following through, on the hard decisions which are needed to put the corporation firmly ‘on the rails’ for the future.” The corporation, since its start in 1982, had shown a healthy willingness to face up to its responsibilties, said Mr Gair.
