• • Greater Wellington welcomes rail asset investment from Government

    • 7 Jul 2021
    • Greater Wellington Regional Council
    • Greater Wellington welcomed news today that the Government is investing $1.3 billion in the national rail network over the next three years. Chair of Greater Wellington Daran Ponter says the investment news comes at a crucial time with the regional council preparing its business case for new inter-regional trains. “It’s great to see the Government putting real value back into rail network assets. We need resilient rail corridors to get value out of the new rolling stock that Greater Wellington and Horizons are planning to introduce. There’s no point having fancy new trains connecting more passengers in the Lower North Island if they are being held up by the same creaking rails and signals.

    On the buses

    • 24 May 2022
    • Eye of the Fish
    • I hesitate to even bother to post this, as the topic seems so small and the problem is so easily solved, but apparently the Busdriver’s Tramways Union has been “in discussions” for over 18 months on this topic, and they still don’t have an answer. Jesus wept. The incompetence of people in charge! It is all very solvable, for the price of less than $20. Present situation – with intolerably reflective white surfaces inside The problem, dear reader, is that the new buses, apparently only the electrically powered new buses, are “dangerous” at night as there are too many reflections, caused by bright lights inside the new buses, and the driver cannot safely see the road.

Yes, it will be noisy - expect lots of puking in the bushes for the first few weeks, and then they’ll settl

• • Half price fares to be extended on Metlink services

    • 1 Feb 2023
    • Metlink
    • Metlink has welcomed the Government’s extension of half price public transport fares until the end of June 2023. The extension, announced today by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, is part of the Government’s ongoing support intended to ease the cost-of-living pressures. Metlink Commercial, Strategy & Investments Manager Tim Shackleton said the half price fares extension would enable passengers to ready themselves for the eventual go live date for the Community Connect scheme which permanently reduces public transport fares for Community Services Card (CSC) holders by 50 percent. “With around 90,000 CSC holders in the Wellington region, Metlink has worked with the Ministry of Social Development to develop a system that provides quick and easy access to half price fares when the scheme rolls out,” says Tim Shackleton.

    Community, Gardens and Kai - The Welly Urban Food Org.

    • 27 Jul 2023
    • Sustainability Trust Wellington
    • With the end of June been and gone, our funding to run the Welly Urban Food Org. has come to an end. But, our involvement doesn't end here. We'll still be active advocates and supporters of urban agriculture in our city, it just changes slightly (keep an eye out for all our upcoming responsible composting workshops). Firstly, we must say a huge thank you to Sustainability Trust educators Laura-Kate Howells, Nina Atkinson, Caroline Arrowsmith and Asia Brownlie for their contributions in the early days of the programme. We also greatly appreciate the Wellington City Council for providing the funding for our urban agriculture programme since 2017 - we're lucky to have a local council who are keen to invest in our food system and building community around kai.
