| 1229955 | 2011-09-09 21:22:00 | And wot about the trains and traffic...... people being delayed? Most of the issues on the trains were caused by idiots - no, morons pressing the emergency stop buttons when there was no emergency. On some trains it was so bad that as soon as the train moved off, the button would be pressed again. :mad: :mad: :mad: The breakdown at Remuera didn't help... |

I was on the trains earlier that morning, and there was extra signage around the emergency buttons, but there really should have been security there. The mayor has demanded a review of what happened. |

Instead of the buttons stopping the trains. The button should alert the driver of an emergency who can then talk to the passengers to find out if there is a real emergency or not. This is what happens on the London underground. |

| 1229961 | 2011-09-09 22:28:00 | Well if people like you had any culture they might show it. But I'm afraid to say, you don't Seriously? Much of maori culture has been manipulated and manufactured for entertainment value, The real cultural footprint is a savage stone age people with almost no language, a penchant for war, a hunger for human flesh, and wearing plants for clothes. In recent times we have shared a culture, and before that our culture spreads to all corners of the earth and reaches back through the ages, through every development of mankind. The maori never got out of their first age until the colonists arrived and lifted them out of the muck. If you are under the delusion that maori have some mystical and deep culture and whitey are just a blank slate then you are a victim of marketing and public manipulation. thats just where the money goes, and where it can be earned. Hence the difference between whats getting marketed around Rotorua and the reality of small settlements around the country. |

| 1229963 | 2011-09-09 23:16:00 | I had to walk out of the room. I could not stand the maori shoving their culture in our faces once again. It was all about the maori's once again. I don't think there was anything in that opening about us 90% whites. I'm not racist, but i am god damn sick of those maori's trying to shove their culture in our faces. Most people watching the world cup in other countries are gonna think we are all weirdos half naked with tattoo's on our faces while yelling out random gibberish. That rugby opening made me embarrassed to be a kiwi. +1 Dick. |

It has happened before with trains to sporting events and it doesnt stop it happening again. I got caught up in all that ... took me 1:30hr from Downtown to Eden Park, then 30 mins back after the game ..... then 3hrs from Downtown to Panmure Station. Home at 1:30am. Luckily I dont have tickets for anymore games but if I did then I will be driving. Apparently the roads were generally clear after the population took heed to use public transport .... and it crashed big time. Never again. |
