Rail enthusiasts led by Auckland Mayor Len Brown have gained a confidence boost from a survey which has found hefty public support for trains to cross Waitemata Harbour.
An UMR Research poll, the results of which are out today, found 79 per cent of 241 Aucklanders in favour of installing railway lines across the harbour - whether on a new bridge or through tunnels - and 18 per cent against.
They were more evenly split over the form of a new harbour crossing, with 38 per cent opting for a second bridge and 41 per cent for tunnels.
Twelve per cent did not want any new crossing.
