I was on board here that time in 1991 in Sydney NSW 2000 😅

I was onboard one of those last trains with my Mother and my Grand parents, And I even remember seeing Merv Smith get interviewed at the time by the big rear window.

I remember the Traffic Cops some were good, others well, let's say they lacked people skills.

I liked the outside vestibule, they had one on the northerner at the same time and I loved to stand out and have a puff and look at the night sky , listen to the DX , feel the cold air of the central plateau. Good times

never thought that would make me laugh

I was on board in 66’ as an 8 year old child. Just newly refitted as the Achilles Lauro! We boarded in Napoli. Disembarked in Sydney. A beautiful ship. Such a sad ending.

Damn, I miss these days!

I’d rather take this than the bus .

What a stunning station to arrive into. Typical underinvestment by nz .

Unfortunately, this is New Zealand that once was New Zealand. Now, it's a third-world country in the South Pacific. Unreal. Rogernomics f@#%! The country and future generations are suffering.

Thank you for this post as it brings back fond memories of my travels from Nelson to Christchurch by Newman Coach Lines & boarding the Southerner to Dunedin. Bring back the Southerner!!

They had great ideas! Nice looking future trains. Dreams are free. Still pretty much the same in 2024 . Nice old video though

Am I able to use some of the footage for a video? I only need somewhere around 4-8 seconds.

yeah am in Hawke's bay now and old really change a rails and house and city of napier and i love driver on kiwirail freight the napier from palmerston north and this old live at whakatu by rails on the street Anderson road and fun was grew and im from born in Hawke's bay me baby 😂 for ages and really enjoyed the story in Napier aye❤

Hi i like your video

No doubt the best way to move stuff around the country. But like all govt departments, wrecked by incompetent morons & lazy thieving workers. Thats the truth.

The ferries look in better shape then than they do now

Hey do you maybe know how much the fare was per person back then? Great video!

great and original content

wow this is a great train related video #trainlivesmatter

The Achille Lauro was built-in the 1920s for hamburger American line and I forget the name of the ship back then but the ship was pretty old by the time Of this video brusher being produced

The Achille Laurel was part of the star Laurel line which was a subsidiary of MSC. This is when MSc wanted to get into cruising but they did not want to sink a whole lot of money into it. It's sad that 3 years later the ship sank What I'm saying is when it comes to MSC cruise lines they have the best rolling stock of all the companies out there cause it's the newest they have come a long way since the Achilles Laurel

Super proud to be a rail kid🙏🙏🙏

Many Governments Have dropped the Ball Especially Roger Who thing a me lol lol lol

I travelled on this ship to Europe in January 1969 and back again to Australia in November 1969. First time I'd been outside Australia - on the way over, we ran into a Force 8 gale in the Great Australian Bight. We had the usual "crossing of the line" ceremony of which I retain the photos. Great memories.

The "Intercity" era Southerner about the time NZ Rail was sold to Wisconsin Central. Still kept in very tidy condition. Gore station platform back.

The sound must have been recorded in the toliet

isn't this RM31?

My grandpa worked on that ship but now he's dead he worked the year 60 to 64 or more

They need to bring this back to cut short-haul air travel and its associated CO2 emissions.

My parents took us on a cruise on this ship in December 1993.. from Durban to Cape Town.. fond memories…

Hi, I’d like to incorporate the Kurow footage from this into a video on am making about that branch, would that be ok with you? Thanks

One assumes that despite assurances of the time it didn't all turn out as hoped as the Govenment had to step in and buy back the company.

Pls post more trains 🚂

I travelled on this ship from Southampton to Sydney in June 1971, fantastic voyage for the sum of £10 assisted passage!

Frankly the scenery is not that great.🙄

no narrator so we have to guess what we looking at

And now the rail service is abismal. Over expensive and hardly used

Those carriages scream of my childhood. So cool 😎

You never know when you got it good till its gone

another sad event .

George Washington chopped down a tree. And couldn’t tell a lie. When questioned by his father. He confessed yes it was I. But as he handed back the axe. He added in defence. Good training sir for lumberjacks. Or would-be presidents.

Bring it back bigger and better. We so need it very much with flights becoming so expensive these days!

BRING BACK THE TRAIN 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚅🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆

What is the passenger loading's like on the day you traveled? Where passengers mainly from NZ?

I was on this trip. Exciting, seeing myself a couple of times in the video, albeit briefly.
