Trains back on track

From The Panel, 4:19 pm on 5 March 2018

The Auckland rail network should be back to normal soon with the drivers' union and Transdev coming to an agreement, after a week of strike action. Transdev and Auckland Transport wanted to make it so train drivers would control the doors and train officers would manage problems but the union argued it would be unsafe for passengers. We ask John Kerr, from the Rail and Maritime Transport Union, what they've settled.
