      This is one even kids can drive because the carts have inbuilt electronics to prevent them from bumping into one another.

    Great Video Tim, sad to see the the line diminished to a tourist attraction, thanks for sharing

      Hi, I agree it's sad to see the line that once connected the biggest city in New Zealand to its most visited tourist area abandoned. Riding the rail carts is fun, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

      Hi, Rotorua is an awesome place. I've just looked to see if there is a link to a site showing the best of Rotorua and to be honest none of the sites do justice to the place, too many adverts, not enough information, I've got a stack of video footage shot at the various thermal parks and other attractions, when I get time I'll put something together. In the meantime The guy behind Rotorua Rail-cruising took me on a special extra trip, please click on this link to see it -th-cam.com/video/qV8mWTp6K4k/w-d-xo.html

      Hi Chuck, I am glad you enjoyed these rail carts. They are very safe with electronics to prevent them from bumping into each other or the ends of the line so that even children under adult supervision can drive them.

      Hi, Tim! So, autopilot is rule now for all. :)))))
      Hmm... A bit for boring... Sadly that this civilisation now has really 'progress' for digital /aka 'kibernetic'/ application only, but don't energetic and other 'green worlds' technology -- there are it's lagging behind in dog's tail!.. :(

      I love Rotorua, its an amazing place, Volcanic Parks, Fantastic Zoos and then take a ride on a RailCruiser, a great way to spend a few days. I hope you get there Rob.

    Amazing Tim...This could only happen in NZ....what a fantastic idea....looked a lot of fun. Excellent video...best wishes....Steve.

      Hi Steve, it was fun. Imagine a similar venture between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Trawsfynydd in North Wales. The tourists are already there, the track was still in place on my last visit, there are no road crossings and the scenery is stunning.

  • @GVMGVM-dl1iu

    How does it handle crossing with other traffic? How does it know when it's clear to cross?

      Hi, the part of the line normally used by rail cruisers has no road crossings, so it is not an issue. In the second video we take the cruiser along a section of the line into Rotorua that was not in use for public services when I visited. We just had to look both ways and cross carefully, for more information take a look at their website ... www.railcruising.com/

      Timsvideochannel1 Thanks. This is an awesome concept and I plan to take advantage of it in my upcoming visit.

    Was that The Stig I saw at the begining of the clip?
