Serco to look at long-distance trains

Stuff reports the UK “rail giant” Serco is to look at New Zealand’s remaining four long-distance trains:

Minister of Transport Steven Joyce has confirmed the company sent him a letter recently saying it was preparing a paper on the train services. He expected the company’s ideas would be put into the mix of options for KiwiRail next year  when a strategic review of its business was completed.

Interesting – I wonder if Joyce is looking at asking KiwiRail to sell off Tranz Scenic.
