Heritage New Zealand is protesting the installation of automatic ticketing systems in a Wellington train station because it could bring more passengers and wouldn't match the colour palette.
At the moment, only cash can be used on trains, and paper tickets can be bought before boarding. Snapper cards can only be used on buses - but the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GRWC) wants to trial the automatic tickets on the Johnsonville train line.
For this, Snapper top-up machines would need to be installed in the historic Wellington train station - and Heritage NZ isn't so sure it's a good idea.
