Another Pro-Rail Brown Mayor
- Auckland Trains
- Lost in the Auckland north with all the attention to the Len Brown win is the fact Wellington may have a very pro-public transport Greenie mayor within days. The Greens’ Celia Wade-Brown is only 40 votes away from winning with 960 specials to be counted. Celia Wade-Brown, like her northern namesake, Len Brown, campaigned on a transport policy -and being a Greenie, it was all about choices such as walking and cycling. But central to her campaign was a promise of light rail for the capital.
