@@ninjapirate123 You are correct. (Well, strictly it still exists, but not as a stop:-). I presume the tiny number of passengers to/from Waitakere did not warrant the expense of raising the tunnel roof (or better, decreasing the grade by lowering the floor,) to accommodate the overhead wires. I would be sorry to see the tunnel remodelled anyway. Did you know those clever engineers built a kiln on-site and baked the tunnelled-out clay to make bricks to line the tunnel?
Thanks, enjoyed this one. Love the jazz. Such fun!
Actualy blues...totally appreciated
RIP Waitakere Station
it might come back
Cheer up there are plans to go beyond he station towards huapi by trains to huapi website on facebook
Yeah those electric trains can't fit through that tunnel between Swanson to Waitakere so that station no longer exists

@@flamencoprof Thats an interesting fact, I really didn't know that
Nice one, thanks for posting.
Swanson to britomart is a train and cool and good too
Swanson is now currently the last station on the Western Line
Wow wish the real train ran that fast 😀
Were trains slower today than the trains in the past, I haven't took the train since 2012
That's a decently sized train 126 around 1:00
May i ask what is the name of the back ground music?
Waitakere station doesn't exist anymore
