And how much to the Wellingtonians pay for their nice new electric train sets?? $210 million I believe. Remembering of course our electric trains will be three car as opposed to their two, and will have enough power (2,720kW) to operate on the CBD rail link. ;)	pcuser42 (130)

This seriously needs upgrading well before Len Brown's train set. The only reason Labour christened it HH is because they have no seats up here, and nor are they likely to get any. It is just another indication of their derogatory naming of things, stemming from their politics of envy. The time will come when this road will be 4-laned to Whangarei and in future years to the Bay of Islands. There is talk of urgency to put a motorway OUT of Wangerai, due to heavy demand.	Cicero (40)

As an example, I live on the shore, work in the CBD. It's about 8km each way. I have to take at least 2 separate buses, for a total time and cost each way of about 1hr 15min and $8. That's 2.5hrs and $16 a day to travel 16km round trip. Both destinations are within 500m of major locations / landmarks, too, so it's not like I'm taking an extra bus to go out of the way to an odd place. It actually worked out cheaper and faster for me to drive in and park every day, than to catch the bus. It saves me 1.5 hours a day and halves the cost compared to busing. So far, none of the Auckland transport plans I've seen address this situation very well. The Northern Busway project looked like they were going to make some effort, but appears to have stalled.	inphinity (7274)

1243408	2011-11-14 22:49:00	There is talk of urgency to put a motorway OUT of Wangerai, due to heavy demand. Yes, it's going to connect direct to Swannanoa.!!	Richard (739)
1243409	2011-11-14 23:00:00	Yes, it's going to connect direct to Swannanoa.!! Ha ha, just what we need to lower the tone.	Cicero (40)
1243410	2011-11-15 07:03:00	That'll need one hell of a bridge though	Morgenmuffel (187)
1243411	2011-11-15 09:12:00	ImageF1 appears to have gone walkabout.Grrr, sorry :groan:. The provider who hosts the ImageF1 server has had a not-so-small oops with their router configuration; I went down to investigate the issue this evening. ImageF1 is running fine, it's just not accessible from the internet. I have been assured that it should be sorted by midday tomorrow.	Erayd (23)
1243412	2011-11-15 20:17:00	There is talk of urgency to put a motorway OUT of Wangerai, due to heavy demand. So that the armored cars can get north faster on benefit day to distribute the money.??..	paulw (1826)
