What a great idea (as long as ARTA aren’t funding it). I think that this should be done by other places near train lines, Sylvia Park, Lynnmall, West city etc
I also noticed they were advertising take the train on traffic updates today, On ZM that is. Well done.
Excellent idea Matt. Sylvia Park’s a sitter for it but so is LynnMall to celebrate the opening of New Lynn’s new hub around July.
bullshit! 50% off international travel? Are you serious?
@Marwan $50 not 50%
@Marwan Before you rush out and buy a world trip…that reads $50 off not 50%!
LMAO!
That’s a great idea though. I suspect this idea came about due to the Newmarket Business Association? Which could be why it hasn’t been done near other stations.
Well mall owners such as Westfield could do a similar deal if they wanted to. A very good idea and something I suspect we will see more of.
Westfield?! Ha! They’re as anti-rail as it is possible to be…
Wow, those are pretty good deals.
When I read the title I was expecting things like a free coffee or something.
Now lets just hope trains are running a bit smoother through Newmarket next month.
Here’s the full list of “Train treats”
