Trainz to Town

Waiting at the station....

If you live in the Wellington suburbs, going into town means going down.  Down the cable car if you live as I once did, in Kelburn, or if you are in the outer suburbs, you can take the communter train.  It is fast, easy, and delivers you in short order to the main train station.

Mind you, station signage does not fill the traveller with confidence.  Our friends speculate that a pleased Scot wrote this announcement. 

We are told that a new train will soon be on this route, after a long struggle during which tunnels had to be enlarged. It turns out the old tunnels were a bit too snug for the new train. I hope everything fits properly now.

Still, I'm glad we won't be on that inaugural journey....
