 I am referring to the North Shore line. There is a train up the Nth
Shore (taken from Wynyard) approx every 5 minutes during off peak, peak
times is more.

 The airflow through those windows and doors is pathetic.

 Well it looks like you need a new job. If this country didnt have
unions, wed have conditions like American companies. Alot of companies
over there dont even give their employees 1 day of sick pay. Believe
me, cause I have just returned from a few months of living over there
and working. My wife`s dad (whom is American) and my brother in law all
work for different companies, one of them being Union Carbide, and they
have no conditions whatsoever.
