Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Michael Wood, thank you for your email.

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may transferred to another office for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Dear Francis

Thank you for your email of 8 July 2021 in which you submitted an Official Information Act 1981 (the Act) request as follows:

1. The projection for patronage levels for the Te Huia train service from when it was launched till the next 5 years (or till a point that is the end of the projection the Ministry has if such projection ends sooner than 2026), presented as daily number of people using the train service. The methodology of estimation is optional.

2. The annual costs of operation of the Te Huia train service in 2021, and projected rise in such costs of operation in 2022, and if it happens to be available, until 2026.

The information you have requested is believed to be more closely connected with the functions of the Waikato Regional Council. Your request is therefore being transferred under Section 14(b)(ii) of the Act to the Waikato Regional Council for a response.

The Waikato Regional Council will contact you in due course regarding this request.
