Dear KiwiRail,

What public good activities in the 2020 financial year did Kiwirail undertake in support of the various rail heritage groups nationwide, for which payment was not requested.

For example, as a starting point...
- Number of sleepers gifted
- Rail track and fittings gifted
- surpass hardware gifted
- peppercorn land and building leases
- engineering support

Furthermore, what is Kiwirails policy in relation to both supporting and engaging with these heritage groups?

Yours faithfully,

Iain Palmer
