    The 2010s: How would you define it?

    Point proven. Anyone who doesn't think Trump is a serious worry... Well I'd be interested to hear why not. Every time he opens his mouth nonsense comes out, much like Johnson.

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Yeah, we sailed Picton to Wellington. The first part of the journey in the Queen Charlotte Sound was stunning and pretty smooth. As soon as the ferry left the inlet and went on to the Cook Straight the ship was all over the place. My poor girlfriend had her head between her knees until we got to...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Yeah, we got our passes by hours. It actually works pretty well and is easy enough to work out using there website. They base it on how long the journey should take so if you get stuck somewhere in traffic or what have you it doesn't affect it. I found the hours they allocated for journeys were...

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    Purely a guess but if they are doing fault free miles running as opposed to training they will fit them in wherever they can.

    Northern Class 195: Construction/Introduction Updates

    195001 on its own on an MIA to Lime Street just now, I didn't even bother trying to get on at South Parkway. This is taking the Mick now. They used to be pairs of 156's, now we have less seats than a 142. Are they trying to put people off taking the train.

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    I have a mate living in Tauranga with his wife and kids for the last few years, he was still in Auckland when I visited. Sadly Tauranga and that area was one of the places we missed. My mates photos look amazing. Got another mate living in Nelson now, only moved there from the UK since my visit...

    Juliano's World Frenzy/Tech's Trip Reports

    Yeah Auckland is definitely worth a look around. Walk out to Mount Eden which gives a cracking view over the city and all the other weird little extinct volcanoes around it. Ponsonby Road isn't far from there and has a nice little cafe culture. Parnell on the other side of the city centre is...

    Are Class 150s suitable for Liverpool-Manchester O Rd stopping services?

    Yeah, in Liverpool we currently get loads of weird peak hour services like the 17:55 and 18:55 with single 142's or 150's to Oxford Road then the 19:19 being a pair of 156's and completely empty apart from the odd nutter who will decide to share a table at the front of the front carriage with...
