822371 2009-10-25 21:47:00 There is very little snow here at the moment - seems unlikely we will get any before Xmas. Have a good flight, I hope you paid the extra to get a flight with indoor plumbing. R2x1 (4628)

822373 2009-10-28 18:57:00 I won't see this thread after this morning.
SO I will assume it's all still happening at 11:30 and arrive at the Britomart.
See you..........

822375 2009-10-28 21:59:00 I'll be there, coming on the train as usual. (Then heading out to New Lynn to look at the rail trench.)

Rail trench?? Pics please pcuserwinvista - for I am an old New Lynn kiddo. We used to live in Great North Rd (pre Lynmall) opposite where Lynmall is now and used to play in the paddock there. We could see the trains going along to the New Lynn station from our home.

Thanks

Ken :clap:clap

PS - OK, I did a google search and got all the info. The place certainly changed in the years since I lived there in the 40's & 50's.

822376 2009-10-29 02:57:00 There'll be photos of the trench on my rail website (http://nzrailphotos.co.cc) that evening, if all goes well. :)

I'll be on the train that arrives at Britomart at 11:29, so don't leave without me. :p

Is that 11:29 Rail Time (i.e. Late in the week) or regular people time?

If it is regular time, it should leave you about 31 minutes to get up 2 floors by racing (metric) escalator. If it's Rail Time, it may pay to bring a torch ;)

It means normal people time. FYI I've only ever been later than 5 minutes once, and it wasn't ARTA/Veolia's fault. (It was Toll's fault - a freight wagon was too high to fit under a bridge.)
