As a train nerd who lives in Wellington, it makes me both heartened and a little bit envious seeing how far the Auckland train system has improved over the last twenty years. I wish we had such lovely stations here.

Must say, we are so impressed with the stations and just love taking the trains. We wish the whole of NZ could be connected by rail 😌

Honestly some of the fancy buildings/stations are a bit unecessary. The Panmure building is just a giant open thoroughfare to get down to the platform as there's not really anything inside, just a couple of toilets and the esclators down to the platform. The rest is just wide empty space with sliding doors on the front and back like a large atrium. Since there's a bus area on one side and park&ride on the other they couldve just had the floor and no building since everyone is walking through there to go down the escalators to the train. It makes me laugh whenever I go there thinking about how much it would've cost. At least have some shops to make it more than just a fancy overpriced walkway 😂 Our trains are also quite unreliable. When I was at uni the trains were somewhat ok and only the occasional cancelation (that was 8+ years ago) but apparently it's really bad now. I caught one a few months ago for the first time in ages to go to a concert and luckily I got there early cause the one I had planned to take was cancelled. Going to another soon so I guess i'll see whether they're any better. From all the AT and news updates I think the bus will probably be a better option.
@emmah327 күн бұрын
I'm surprised the train was operating on a public holiday. Almost every single long weekend in the last 5+ years AT have said they'll been out of operation for maintenace on the tracks. Loved seeing your walk up Mt Wellington. My goal last year was to walk up it 52 times in the year. I did manage to do it but was definitely forcing myself by halfway through the year, especially when I had to catch up a few from when I was away on holiday mid-year. Safe to say it didnt become a habit and have only gone up once this year 😂
