Haha, I wasn't defending Kiwi trains, they're a shambles, I was more defending narrow gauge railways - Japan has a few!

You've misunderstood me. The Kiwi trains are top-notch. But I notice the difference in width of the carriages. A wider gauge can allowwider carriages. I have travelled across Canada on passenger trains and from Wgtn to Auckland when there was an overnight train with beds. That difference in width made a difference to my comfort as a passenger. Particularly the sleepers. (I know NZ no longer has sleepers)

That's hardly true or fair though, there are many successful narrow gauge railways around - take a look at Brisbane and Perth in Australia, they both use narrow gauge but their trains are top notch.

$16 million is really nothing in real terms. Look over the ditch to see how much is being spent on rail transport.

"Standard gauge" is 4 ft, 8 1/2 inches.....and is used in Canada, the US and any other countries. New Zealand uses 3 ft 6 inches.
