A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

I would like the train back. I always used to see the train come to Gisborne and I am missing it dearly.

I attend Rail Action Group meetings and I am a great fan of trains. I will never give up.

There are too many trucks on the roads. They wreck our roads all the time and the money spent fixing them should be spent on saving our railways.

We should have a march sometime to help save the railway. I would love to see the big washout fixed.

May L. Ruby
