Eye of the Fish / July 2019
We are a fledgling blog that was created to continue the legacy of Tom Beard’s superb WellUrban. Our aim is to further discourse on Wellington’s urban environment, as well to as report on the other aspects of life in the capital. Tom has set certainly high standards for us, and we wish him all the best in his new position.

Starting at the Station
- Eye of the Fish
- Having been looking in depth at the Airport route last week, and having already looked at the Basin area, its time now to return to Base One: the start of any Light Rail / Public Transport route at Wellington Railway Station.

To the AirPort
- Eye of the Fish
- There has been interesting dialog over the past few days on the Eye of the Fish, regarding exactly how the routes out east might connect with Kilbirnie, Miramar and ultimately, the airport.

Heading South-East
- Eye of the Fish
- Given that everyone seems to agree that any new PT route needs to go down to Newtown to visit the Hospital (thereby removing any need for doctors, nurses and staff to have to drive to work) and then possibly the Zoo (as another main attraction) and then cross over to Kilbirnie for the large and growing population there, the Eye of the Fish decided to take a look at what may happen there.

Public Transport network
- Eye of the Fish
- Following on from the diagram that Eye of the Fish published a short while ago, it has come out that this is, indeed, more or less exactly the route that LGWM have proposed as well.
