❓ Hon Ken Travers inquires about the possibility of private leasing and maintenance of Tier 3 railway lines, and the impact of line closures on tourist rail operations. The government, through the Public Transport Authority, indicates no consideration has been given to private leases due to existing arrangements with Brookfield Rail, and no impact on tourist rail as none operate on those lines.
