    Good selection of clips. Thanks Geoff. We drove over the rail/road bridge at Inangahua, but no trains around (23 December 2023).

    Superb production in all respects. Used to live in NZ being based in the capital city of Wellington and travel extensively on business in many parts of NEW ZELAND. Recognize many views including the coastal areas around Kaikoura and along the coastal major route in the South Island. The music overlay was also enjoyable and the sound quality again was excellent. Love any train travel in any country given the opportunity !

    Great coverage. Thanks. It would be good if Kiwi Rail engines were painted something that represented our country more such as black or green. The US black trains look great. The yellow and orange always looks filthy unfortunately. Thanks again.

    Nice Geoff. Do you need special permission from CAA to operate the drone. I would love to be able to do that but I thought there were rules around drone operations?

  • @geoffmackley

    Its about common sense, New Zealand's drone rules are "bizzare".... don't upset or distract anyone, ALWAYS get permission to fly in Authorization Zones and always land immediately if a helicopter or plane does approach....... etc

    Personally any canned music on videos always puts me off them. I can always see photos if I want silence. I like to hear the noise of the trains. Not someone's favourite song - no matter how well composed or how relevant etc. And watching videos with the sound off to me just doesn't cut off. As I said I may as well see a (silent) photo than spend ages watching a video (including the annoying ads at the beginning).

    I understand where you are coming from. But audio caught from a drone is going to feature the drone's noise more than the train's.

    how is jean and jayceen miller domestic violence monitored case are they safe from nz police chrishipkens gcsb nz govt i concern current sitution threat real police pose to them reckon nzdf i c lean up these feas  The safety of Jean and Jayceen Miller is a matter of public concern, and there have been calls for an independent inquiry into the case. The New Zealand Police have said that they are committed to protecting the Millers, and that they have taken steps to ensure their safety. However, some people are not convinced that the police are doing enough, and they believe that the Millers are still in danger. The Millers have been subjected to a campaign of domestic violence and intimidation, which has included death threats.
