Wrong.

The airport Development plans show space reserved for light rail,
roughly parallel to the
beck entrance out via Puhinui Cemetery. The station is where the car
park is at the international terminal. The plans specifically show
'light rail'.

There are also plans for a rail line from Wiri Quarry. This would
parallel Wiri Station Rd, via the Juhl tank farm, and presumably would
follow the pipeline to the AIrport.
