KiwiRail is getting closer to its customers at key locations around the country with arrangements close to being finalised with several businesses setting up premises at several major rail terminals.

"A key goal for our business is to make using rail as straightforward as possible for our customers, and one way to do this is to develop freight hubs - or villages - on or next to rail land," says Iain Hill.

"The Wellington terminal is typical of many with premises nearing completion for Mainfreight, Toll's existing facilities undergoing redevelopment and two other organisations close to finalising details."

Plans are also taking shape terminals at Invercargill, Dunedin and Palmerston North.
