The main reason intercity rail would struggle today, except as a tourist venture, is just how good the roads have gotten since they stopped. Auckland to Wellington has probably gotten an hour faster since the 2000s, due to the new motorways and expressways.

Meaning that road based PT will be a lot faster.
