Last Northerner Trains at Wellington 12th and 13th Nov 04

[RobertM408]

The Labour Government seemed remarkably selective in its support of public transport. Neither Labour or the Greens were prepared to support the retention of this essential service. On the Northerner you could get on merry, intoxicated or with a kitchen load of goods. Even Prebble and Fay Richwhite considered it an essential service. But Clark and Rod Donald would not support it. The Northerner at night tired and happy was far more pleasant than the Overland which is a overcrowded day train.
