Re: 50 years of Trolley Buses in Wellington NZ

["Jonathan Ah Kit" <ahkitj@paradise.net.nz>]

Go trolley buses! Kill the regional council for hating them! ;)

Oops. Better not, they hand out those all-important subsidies...

Seriously, 50 years, happy birthday! I grew up on these as much as those
yellow Hungarian-made trains we have on the Upper Hutt and Paraparaumu
lines... :) Anyone want to put up their hands to making either of these an
unique Wellington icon?
