John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 30 March 1925: LOCAL AND GENERAL … Another instance of the recovery by railway officials of an article lost from the train by a lady passenger has been brought to notice, and with it a further example of the value of forethought is provided. During a trip by train to Auckland recently a Wellington lady was in the act of washing her hands when a valuable ring slipped from her finger and passed into the waste pipe of the basin before it could be recovered. The train was then some distance from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Taihape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taihape</a>, and, on arrival at that station, the loss of the ring was made known to the station officials there. An examination of the pipe failed to reveal the missing article, which had evidently fallen right through to the railway line. The lady passenger informed the officials that she had taken a note of the time when the article was lost, and with this information as a guide, that portion of the line over which the train had passed at the time stated was subsequently searched. The result was that the lady had her ring returned the other day. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250330.2.29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250330.2.29</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railways</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LostAndFound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LostAndFound</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MainTrunkLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MainTrunkLine</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySome good news (for the North): Keir Starmer has committed £415m of 'new money' to the ongoing electricfcation & improvement of inter-city rail services around the North... But, as if he admits, this is a £10bn project & so today's announcement is more of a small continuity payment than a massive shift in speed of completion of a project already running a decade late... but at least Rachel Reeves has not actually cut it back (yet).<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/North" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#North</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#railways</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jgjgvzl13o" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jgjgvzl13o</a>

Rob ConnollyAdmittedly, this would be 'slow' rail, but a slow train is better than no train. Once we have that running we can start a rolling program of network upgrades and electrification to improve services.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railways</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nzpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nzpol</a>

Rob ConnollyDoes the New Zealand rail network actually serve New Zealanders? - <a href="https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2025/02/18/does-the-new-zealand-rail-network-actually-serve-new-zealanders/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2025/02/18/does-the-new-zealand-rail-network-actually-serve-new-zealanders/</a>Key takeaway: opening just 100 stations across the country would serve 80% of NZs population and most of the station sites already belong to Kiwirail.
