It me! (Well, my display!)

I'm not sure planting birds is a great policy

I framed my special edition HOP cards! (And one regular one too)

With Stacey and the team from Auckland Transport, fire at Waitematā Station was very small and is out, they’ve received clearance from FENZ and recovery is in progress. Services will be restored soon. Thanks to Fire and Emergency NZ and all the teams for their swift response.

Happy CRL day!

Call an election on Day 1 for shits and giggles

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

The third and final CRL station to get its turn for a sneak peek was Te Waihorotiu, in the middle of the city centre. We headed along to what is expected to become New Zealand's busiest station for a look. https://nzrailphotos.co.nz/photos/city-rail-link-first-looks-and-sneak-peeks?view=latest

Achievement unlocked: Sounded the depot horn

DL class locomotives have begun to appear on Te Huia and Northern Explorer services, reclassified DLP, ahead of the requirement for all trains to have ETCS in the Auckland area. Today, we caught the first Te Huia service to be DLP-hauled. https://nzrailphotos.co.nz/photos/dl-passenger?view=latest

Delayed the press conference by 20 minutes to try and find a way to make it Labour's fault, probably #nzpol

#RailNews: The Te Mahia Station pedestrian bridge will open on 24 August following final safety checks and approvals. The bridge at Takanini Station will open on 12 September. MORE: www.beehive.govt.nz/release/auck...

Ahead of the City Rail Link opening to passengers on 13 September 2026, the public got an opportunity to look through each station on three separate weekends, starting with Maungawhau station. We attended a Sneak Peek event the night before. nzrailphotos.co.nz/photos/city-...

City Rail Link opening date revealed as 13 September https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/900907/city-rail-link-opening-date-revealed-as-13-september

Drury and Paerātā stations both had open days for the public today, in advance of the stations opening tomorrow. We went along and had a look around the two new stations before we go for our own rides. https://nzrailphotos.co.nz/photos/drury-and-paert-stations-open?view=latest

You think the Greens having a typo in their tax policy document is bad? I heard Chlöe Swarbrick personally cancelled a half-billion dollar deal to replace our ageing interislander ferries via text message and then we had to pay Hyundai $144 million in contract breaking fees for it oh wait.........

teehee

People often ask us: who actually made Auckland’s game-changing City Rail Link project happen? Today, @connorsharp.bsky.social rates the CRL’s Top Ten Political Champions. Number 10 may surprise you… but the others will really knock your socks off! www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/05/25/t...

‘Just hurry up and roll Luxo’ did make me lol, just a wee bit 😂🤭

Yo dawg, I put a lazy Susan on your lazy Susan so you can spin food while you spin food

Kids you must remember every time you're in the car

NEW EDDACHE VIDEO!! Lets look at the holy-man who created a talking train and then things got weird... youtu.be/ZI6byqHP8_s

Which rebrand is worse, this or X

Cat: *meows at door* Me: *opens door* Cat: *sits there and doesn't come inside* Me: *closes door again* Cat:

Looking at you, TVNZ+, who shortened their max password which forced me to change mine then went backwards again

Fuel crisis? Not for my commute! *let's ignore that I have to drive to the train because rural-ish

57.7% of NZers, 2.9 million people, can reach public transport within a 10-minute walk. Auckland hits 87.8%. The govt's new fuel subsidy targets 143,000 families. Free fares could reach 20x as many. NZ has the access. What's the argument against?

Simply bringing back half price public transport isn't that hard. But we don't even get that

When, during Covid, I thought ‘thank heavens Jacinda and Grant are in charge, and not a National led government’, I really wasn’t hoping to find out what the alternative scenario would look like for real. #nzpol

Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol
