What's the chance of increasing the track gauge to allow faster travel?

[David Benton]

It has not been considered at all.Remember you are talking about a country the size of the UK, with a population of 4 million. Virtually all the rail money will be spent in the city of Auckland and surrounds , which has a third of the entire national population.
