No mention of what they’re protesting but hopefully this isn’t some sort of attempt to repeat the literal shit-show from last year.

Edit: apparently it’s people gluing themselves to roads to promote trains. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/traffic-disruption-warning-by-police-ahead-of-restore-passenger-rail-protest/

Their cause is intercity rail services, which, by all accounts, will be expensive to run, and require heavy subsidies.

All while a decent network of intercity buses are operating.
