We got that on busses too, but the trains I was referring to are like 2h trains that go 500km.

Ah right. Yeah we don't have a lot those, we have a hub and spoke system of commuter trains, with gaps filled with busses.

Wellington is services by a couple of weekday trains from neighbouring cities, that are each approx 2 hours away (slow ones, travelling around 150km distance in that time). Of those trains, one only runs once a day and not at all on weekend, and the other is only like 4 a day and 2 on weekends. Intercity rail is not that good here. You can get Wellington<->Auckland (two biggest cities) but it's priced for tourists not commuters (goes pasts mountains etc). Plus is a whole day's travel, we don't have fast trains.
