Until 2001, passenger trains ran from Auckland to Rotorua via Hamilton daily using Silver Fern railcars, terminating north of the town centre at Koutu (the original station on Amohau Street was closed and relocated to Koutu in 1989). However, owing to poor advertising of the service and the location of the station being a 15-minute walk from the town centre in an industrial area, passenger services stopped in October 2001. Freight services on the line declined over the decades until the nightly freight service stopped in 2000, largely due to a continual move of freight and passengers onto road transport using ever-improving highways in the region. The line is currently disused. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rotorua&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_schools_in_the_Bay_of_Plenty_region#Rotorua_District" title="List of schools in the Bay of Plenty region">List of schools in the Bay of Plenty region § Rotorua District</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tertiary">Tertiary</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rotorua&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Tertiary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Rotorua is home to the central campus of <a href="/wiki/Toi_Ohomai_Institute_of_Technology" title="Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology">Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology</a>, which provides a range of certificates, diplomas and a limited number of degree-level programmes.
