Workers say new hope has been breathed into Dunedin's Hillside railway workshop after a major redevelopment was unveiled today.

The government announced $85 million to build a new wagon assembly facility in last week's Budget.

It follows nearly $20 million already earmarked from the Provincial Growth Fund in 2019 to upgrade two main rail workshops.

Reporter Tess Brunton was at the unveiling in Dunedin and filed this report.
