  Did a few runs out west on a school run before a 17.223 replaced it. Personally this bus was overkill for the rather small route.

  I have photographs (2) of a derailment to the south, that occurred when the US armed forces were gathering to head off the Battle of the Coral Sea. US Forces used their cutting equipment to free passengers from the carriages.

  See; we’ve been considering it, but it’s gonna be really hard seeing as the engineers we need to ask only come around once every blue moon. And I’m aware the clock is ticking: The next time _I’ll_ get to visit the hospital, almost certainly all of the panels would have gone.

  These kind of Bells exist on a lot of railroad crossings here in Sweden, but here we have different sounds on them. We have the Finnish sound, the Swedish/Norwegian sound and the Dutch sound. But cool to see this tho. I’ve seen 2 Vialis EBA bells in real life but never heard one.

  Even though I live near the airport, I've never been through that tunnel (I am aware of it though). However, I have been through the road tunnel under the southern end of the runway quite a few times. In fact, I drove through it just yesterday. It's on Moa Point Road, and connects Moa Point and the southern end of the airport with Lyall Bay. That one's only been around a few years.

  It has the same Māori voice like the MonoSpace at the Te Papa museum. I wonder if there's just one Māori language voice that exists currently, and they just put in when they want the lift to be bilingual. It could possibly be a third party board. I just find it strange how a Kone MonoSpace and a Schindler 7000 have the same voice, and I think the Maori language should be used more often in new lifts :)

• 
  @t3224.elevators_nz22 күн бұрын

  This particular Te Reo Māori voice is indeed supplied by a third party (namely Cirrus, AKA the largest third-party distributor of NZ who is also responsible for supplying Dewhurst and Everbright buttons over here), and is the most commonly used whenever they want a bilingual voice unit (though instances have popped up of this voice being English-only too). There is supposedly another Te Reo Māori voice, found on some Schindler 5500s at the Ao Tawhiti school in Christchurch, and recorded by a student of that school (Rangimarie) who was advocating for the use of Te Reo Māori in more accessible contexts, like elevator voice units. Her voice files have not yet been sighted in any other elevator in NZ outside of the aforementioned 5500s, which makes me think they’re either associated with Schindler, or just a one-off for that school. I cannot confirm or deny either way. Lastly, *ka pai, e hoa!* As a New Zealander myself who feels incredibly inspired by Māori language & culture, it’s great seeing foreign enthusiasts with a similar desire to honour it and see it being utilised more! 😀

  Happy to be featured on this long-anticipated video of an equally long-anticipated upgrade of arguably Wellington’s *most iconic elevators* at the moment (at least within the 🛗 community)! Having ridden these many times myself (especially in their dying days), I can back Alex up at 4:29; the original elevators-as epic as the fixtures are-are absolute horse-anus. They don’t level correctly, and the occasional logic glitch can leave them hanging at or between floors for ages, either not moving or not opening their doors. This replacement is certainly warranted, and the new elevators are definitely much smoother & more efficient than the old ones!

  I know this is kind of offtopic, but I haven’t seen a recent Crossing video in a while from you, I just realized recently that New Zealand is one of the few places in the world where train crossings don’t have flashing lights on the gates, and even today I’m wondering why that is. Particularly at Nighttime it’s better visibility for motorists to see a dropped gate when it has flashing lights on it

  Prior to 1980, I'm not sure whether this level crossing had barrier arms (or maybe it had the smaller arms you showed early on in the video). But in 1980, a tragedy occurred when a New Zealand radio personality was killed on the crossing. His car was hit by a train, and I think either the bells weren't working, or maybe he didn't notice them somehow. If I recall rightly, it happened fairly early in the morning, so maybe the bells were even off (if it was before 7:00am). His name was Peter Latham, and he hosted a mid-morning show called "All Things Considered" on the National Programme (later National Radio, now Radio NZ National). The show was subsequently taken over by Sharon Crosbie after Latham retired from radio to become an Anglican minister. There's not much about this tragic accident online, but I remember seeing news footage of it at the time. His car was totalled and I think they had to cut his body out of it. But the crossing was upgraded after that. Either barrier arms were added to it, or those big tall ones replaced the smaller ones.

  @RowanMorrellАй бұрын

  I lived in Linden (bottom of Woodman Drive) for the first ten years of my life, so know that level crossing quite well, although it's a bit different from how it was in the 1970s, with those new barrier arms and lights, not to mention the two-train warning system (is that still there today? - I see this video is from five years ago). Still, seeing this video feels like catching up with an old friend. My mother and I sometimes used to take the train from Linden into town (we also occasionally went on the Johnsonville line). In my late teens/early 20s, my paternal grandmother (who lived in Tawa) and I did a few train trips from Tawa to Paraparaumu and back (we were both rather fond of trains, and she used to give me the NZ Railway and Locomotive Society Calendar every Christmas; I continued to buy it in her honour until they sadly stopped producing it in about 2020).

  The old lifts at this hospital are knackered, and should've been upgraded a long time ago. Lots of ongoing issues with reliability, parts and finding technicians with the know-how to fix 60s and 70s relay controllers. They may not have same character, but as someone who works in this hospital and relies on the lifts to be able to do my job, any kind of upgrade here is very welcome indeed.
