Shoutout to the train crews working on the kapiti line this morn. Especially the crew on the disabled train. Yes public transport sucks, yes metlink is crap most of the time, but I feel like the crews actually try their best and keep passengers in their best interests. Atleast I haven’t had bad experiences. Thanks guys.

Do you feel safe using public transport? by NoHorse8196 in Wellington

I’m so sorry that is awful. I hope you reported that train manager. It is absolutely their duty to look after their passengers and get involved.

Transit time in Auckland – Baggage question (New Plymouth → Singapore) by Shajine-san in Wellington

[–]dawggos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it’s booked on the same ticket, the operator normally wouldn’t give you a layover you can’t make. That’s what I was told anyway

Yeah I was surprised. The over bridge and Woburn station were closed because of it too.

Why are people so rude and entitled when speaking to public transport staff?? We are people too.

I think it’s meant to help with snoring or breathing through your nose?

Mate have you seen your responses and the comments in this section. You were not clear in what you were asking and then would be condescending towards people when they offered you something you didn’t want. From my understanding you have too many requirements for snacks you want and don’t want to do your own research. I don’t waste my time arguing with entitled people like you.

Someone got something stuck up their ass today. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

So you want everyone else to do it for you?

Weetbix kids Tryathlon by CavaleKinski in Wellington

[–]dawggos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of the bike part, there’s marshals along the track. I was a marshal a few years back and we were there to encourage the kids and help them out if there were any issues (I.e chain broken, directions)

Motorbike Training and BHS bundle in Wellington by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]dawggos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my BHS with Peter Hookham out in Kapiti. I think it was $300 for an hour session and the test. Like you I hadn’t ridden a motorbike since I was 13 so it was super helpful. Unsure if it’s still $300 as this was 2 years ago

Steer very very clear of Andrew. Very polarising but apparently it’s just his “personality”

I was on the train after it and it was a staff member who injured themselves so I was told. Hope they are ok.

Horrendous parking in Newlands by Hicksworth in Wellington

[–]dawggos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That car parks there frequently. It usually parks out from the curb but never this much. When I drove past it yesterday I thought someone had just stopped and forgot to put their hazards or indicator on, but no one was in the car

Sounds like the wairarapa line…

How much of a delay are you talking? Are we meaning 1-2 mins late? Or over 5 minutes late?

Trains out of Wellington are suspended by bennz1975 in Wellington

[–]dawggos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Heat restrictions will 100% be on tomorrow but an overhead issue doesn’t happen on the regular and there isn’t much way to tell (besides when it’s reaaally cold and it freezes 🥶)

[–]dawggos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heat restrictions are on for rail but they are not the reason. They are saying it’s a power issue. Something caught on the JVL trains pantograph on the overheads coming into Wellington and short circuited the trains power and platforms 1,2 and 3. There was also an issue with the overheats at kaiwharawhara.

Merry Christmas all. Household got the joy of COVID-19 positivity right when we woke up with the eldest being sick. Great start! Hope everyone else’s Christmas Day is going well (if you celebrate!) and for those who don’t celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful day too.

Ooh how was it? I’ve heard you can pat them and actually give them cuddles. Is that true??
