Random repeating cycle of railways, guitars, bikes, native trees, food gardening, aeromodelling, history and the pursuit of fairness.

@daphlawless @Kaukapakapa_Kid @urbanistfromwhk @NZMorningReport That's absolutely appalling! "Me coming out of Twitter hibernation to say so" appalling!

Reeves is a crank of the worst kind.

@LinzLinz44 But I'm getting so much more done by not looking at Twitter or the news! It'll get boring eventually, but for now my job list needs attention.

@LewisHoldenNZ What a turd.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

@LewisHoldenNZ I look forward to finding out if people like this ever find a way back to reality.

@treebelly1 @johnage @RichardHills_ Certainly months. I knew the bulk of the details in August via work channels. Covid delays/risks would have meant leaving a number of details until they could be sure resources were in place.

@PatrickHerd SHEEESH!!! I left a few days prior...
Stay safe everyone.

@treebelly1 @johnage @RichardHills_ It was an AT page - I presume the Planned Rail Closures page, but I can't tell now as it is constantly updated. It was updated again in early December when Christmas/Boxing day were added.

@johnage Martinus in particular. They've redesigned the actual rail hardware too, as well as the ways to install them.

I've heard Titan is a subsidiary of UGL - as id Auckland One Rail, so there might be some collaborative gains to be made.

@johnage @JontySh grade Separation of Quay Park Junction could easily be made to allow two lines to terminate alongside the park in front of the old station. Would need revised access to Spark Arena and to fit with owner Ngati Whatua's plans.

@treebelly1 @johnage @RichardHills_ it was announced in late October.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

@johnage @CityAklccrg Yes, the curves just before the platforms will go up from 25km/h to 40km/h. The CRL tunnel will range from 40-70km/h depending on the curves. Britomart tunnel is already 70km/h, but with turnouts at each end the only time you go over 30 is heading to the Eastern Line.

@johnage @dalespittle I think it'll be concrete slab track from Quay Park Junction all the way to Mt Eden by the time the CRL opens.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

@johnage @dalespittle Most of the Britomart tracks were normal ballast and sleeper style. Only the complex turnouts were slabbed. Cheaper and more versatile - it has enabled the track layout between the tunnel and platforms to be rearranged a couple of times.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

@johnage There's a containerised concrete mixer there, too! Chuck it on a wagon, mate!

@KristieAddison1 What's on your mind, Kristie?

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

It's quite something to look at the results of a national championship and see mistakes in almost every category. Something again to notice that the results have been quietly edited nearly a week after titles and trophies were presented and now they're *more* wrong.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

@adoxography_ That's a good idea. I also need to wear them in more.

[Adrian the 13th 🚆🎸🚴‍♂️🌲🍅🛩️ @ashcustomworks]

This is nice (even if I'm 4 years late to see it). Kim taught me to build and fly model planes and was instrumental (ahem) in my leap into building guitars. I remember meeting Carolyn Mills 30 years ago when Kim delivered a new harp to her. https://t.co/1Sn37DhRh1

@worried_mind I always wanted to have a whole king size block of chocolate to myself and eat it in one go. Never have - guilt comes along moments after the tummy starts asking questions.

@worried_mind No wonder you get so many views 🤣
