Yesterday I had to pick Deb up from the commuter train at Waikanae. Here it is arriving.
Spencer Greenhalgh Meanwhile I spent a chunk of yesterday trying in vain to find a practical way to travel by train in the States. :(
Miraz Jordan @spgreenhalgh Ha! What you don’t know is that I had to pick Deb up because her car was at the station 30 minutes drive closer to where we live, but she would have had to wait 2 or 3 more hours to catch the once-daily train that reaches the Ōtaki station.
Spencer Greenhalgh For what it’s worth, the U.S. state I live in has almost the population of New Zealand but no real passenger rail 😭😭😭
