Great idea for an urban hike by train, starting at Meadowbank station. Only 9 minutes by train from Downtown Auckland.

Urban hiking by train, exploring the Kepa Road bush reserve and Pourewa Valley this afternoon. Lots birdsong. 20 minutes walk from Meadowbank station along the scenic Te Ara Ki Uta Ki Tai. Path rough and muddy in sections so come prepared.

Nomiya Japanese Tapas & Bar has got to have the best train watching spot in Auckland. Bonus view of both Maungawhau & Eden Park. Plus the beer is cheap & the food is great!

Done the City Ale Link, but looking for a more relaxing vibe for your next CRL trip? Check out Bar Martin, a lovely neighbourhood wine bar only 3 minutes from Baldwin Avenue station.

1 hour 15 minutes from Britomart to Waiwera via Hibiscus Coast station, then a 40 minute scenic walk through the bush gets you to Wenderholm Regional Park. All for $6.50.

After a 3km 40 minute walk from the bus stop, I'm at the beach in Wenderholm Regional Park.

Only 15 minutes walk from the bus stop across Waiwera Bridge, and you're into Wenderholm Regional Park and onto the Perimeter Track.

Faultless escalator etiquette at K Rd this morning. 🤣

Anyone know of some good places to take kids for lunch in the CBD? Going to take the kids for a train ride, show them the stuff I worked on in the CRL and take them out for a feed. Thinking walking to silo park might be cool.

Bus to the beach. Route 83 at Murray's Bay. Runs every 15 minutes from Takapuna to Albany via Campbells, Mairangi, Murrays & Browns Bay. Change from NX1/NX2 at Constellation station.

[One Less Car Auckland @OneLessCarAkl]

So easy to transfer between trains and North Shore buses now. From outside Te Waihorotiu Route 82 runs every 15 minutes to Takapuna & Milford, & NX2 at least every 15 minutes to Albany via the busway.
