* Northland - Fears KiwiRail decision will force more trucks on roads in
-- KiwiRail is mothballing a Northland train line and locals fear the decision will force an extra 150 logging trucks onto the region's roads to cope with the added freight demands... Following enquiries about a leaked email seen by the Herald, a KiwiRail spokesperson this afternoon admitted the contract with the only freight customer on the Otiria to Portland line expires at the end of August and is not going to be renewed. This will render the track useless but the line would remain open... The leaked email from a KiwiRail manager said woodchip company Marusumi would instead build a roadway for its trucks... Transport minister Simon Bridges said the Government has no intention on shutting any lines but there was little or no demand on the line at the moment...
