Regularly commuted from Petone to the city. Ngauranga is an odd one but people who work at the industrial estate and shops nearby use it. The fact the biggest station in Lower Hutt is Waterloo just shows how useless NZ can be at building infrastructure.
On the cable car, car 1 always goes on one track and car 2 always goes on the other. I have recently made videos myself of all the New Zealand train lines and the Wellington Cable Car. I found it interesting to see the stations in this video from the outside perspective since I had a little idea about them from passing through on all the trains but never actually got off to take a look at any of them.
Thanks for highlighting these certainly weird or unusual stations. You are right about Kaiwharawhara... it's strange they just closed it. It tells you all you need to know about the relationship with NZ and its infrastructure: if it costs money, it will get endlessly discussed and then put in the too hard basket. 🙂 I love that Talavera stop where the two cable cars meet, but you're right... I've never got out there! Cheers for your great short video. I didn't guess that Waterloo would be number one, but you're right, it's a pretty strange station.
At first when I saw the ramp at Ngauranga I immediately thought of Broadmeadows. Also it seems that the platform isnt even level with the train meaning that its an inaccessible station
Great video, I must admit that I took the furnicular as a tourist, it was a nice ride up a very steep track which was one of the highlights of our trip, we even bought the fold up cardboard model.
in regards to the furnicular using the wrong side of the track somtimes this is because furnicular run on fixed tracks without mechanical switches. you will have to have a look at how this works yourselfs as this is only me seeing that there are no mechanical switches on the furnicular
