When will we see more masts go up, I know that some have been delivered to sites out west but they have been sitting there for a week or more now. Also with Baldwin Ave, on the westbound platform the masts have been built in but there are no masts on the eastbound platform which has now started to be sealed. Where will the masts go for that side?
Interesting that almost all of the closures are east and south, while west stays open. Along with only having had a 2 week shutdown instead of 3, it’s good to see the west getting some relief from being closed so much.
I wonder if all these shutdowns really necessary, years ago trains would kept running with work going on around them as much as possible.I think they are in danger of losing their customer focus and their custumers.
its so great to see all this work being done on our rali networks. these upgrades will really improve things and hopefully get more people using them.
Does anybody know what is happening between Glen Innes and Panmure. I noticed they removed the ‘platform’ of the old Tamaki (I think) station and it seems like the are leveling the ground next to the current line. Is that just for the electrification or are they planning tripple tracking?
