Disaster for NZ

Those Soviet p36 locomotives are my favorites

Sad that passenger train travel is treated with such disrespect in NZ. Instead of building the new expressway from Hamilton north they could have closed the gaps in the electrification scheme on the NIMT and introduce modern multi voltage EMUs, that would cut the travel time by 3 to 4 hours compared with the slow Northern Explorer train, which takes almost 11 hours for a distance of 680 km. I understand that remaining overland train services are aimed at tourists and speed is not of the highest priority but to make train travel a viable alternative to car travel they need to be faster and run more frequently. Higher speeds would mean improvement of track alignment however, as much of the track was in such poor condition when I visited NZ in 2010 that it felt like a mechanical bull at times. Things may have improved under Kiwirail in that respect, the new carriages with airbag suspension will help a lot.

Hmm I wonder what happened in the evening...

It was something like 20 years ago I 1st visited Denniston, She was midSummer and had clear views of Westport, I swear to God I sure I recall smoke coming from one of the ghoustown houses, someone was still alive up there in that God forsaken town. Oneday hope to return with my 11 yrs old son on a roady around the South Is.

Paul Holmes and Merv Smith both sadly no longer with us.

I came here to say RIP to Sir Andrew Davis, who very sadly passed away yesterday and the age of 80 years on the 20/4/2024. May he never be forgotten. 🕊️

My Mother's father was born there.

Such nostalgic recordings, and so grateful that people were out there filming for us to view. An interesting fact was mentioned that NZ's reliance on imported fuels when there's an abundance of coal locally. Yes the economics won't add up, but at least it's there.

I see you got some footage of the Rail-car that has been on a tour of the South Is recently.

Hey do you still know the far per person, so 1 adult?

NZ's EE EMU's - SOUTHERN RAILWAY UK 4SUB EMU SIMILARITIES !! Amusing. These English Electric EMU's, when I visited Wellington in 1986 were still in operation on the Johnston branch. What I discovered however (being a British Railways Mechanical Engineer) was that the EE control & Westinghouse straight air brake equipment on these 1,500v DC overhead units, was identical to the Southern Railway's 4SUB (4-car SUBurban) 750v DC Third Rail standard Gauge EMU's introduced in 1941 by the famous Southern CME Oliver Vaughan Snell Bulleid (originally from New Zealand). Indeed driving one of your units revealed that the handling & braking even felt & sounded similar to the British version. One of which is preserved (unit 4732). Although Bulleid was probably more famous for his Air Smoothed Pacifics, 30 x Merchant Navy Class & 110 x West Country Class) he built during & after WW2. Twenty of which are preserved !!!

Not much of a mention of the feats of the electric rail through the tunnel and longest tunnel in the British Empire in the Otira tunnel at that time.

I live in Australia now, however I reckon I would travel back to NZ to see a large excursion again and photograph it.

I used to watch the Last Night of the Proms every year; here aged twenty three. The celebrated doyen of BBC News, Richard Baker, hosting the occasion, narrated the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and Peter and the Wolf. Like the mens' white dinner jackets - sartorial elegance of yesteryear!

No phones/selfies, Dame Kiri knows the lyrics and sings fantastic and what an audience!!

What a wonderfully happy evening. I didn't hear this prom's night when it was broadcasted but so glad not to have missed it after all these years. Sir Andrew Davis really captured the atmosphere of the night with a fun song instead of the conductor's traditional final prom speech.

Such an amazing place, A place of special memories to me it is where i proposed to my wife 26 years ago and we have visited Denniston several times since then
