New Melling line would cut Wairarapa commute times (www.thepost.co.nz)

I have always wondered why the Melling line was not extended to connect with the Wairarapa line at Manor Park. Now it could be a possibility.

And we may have missed an opportunity to relocate the Melling Station onto the other side of the river on the Riverbank car park, closer to the Lower Hutt CBD. We could still retain the car parking as it is, and have the new station on raised platforms, with the cars below. But I'm not a geotechnical engineer.

That would be awesome! Melling line is very slow, and not convenient at the moment.
