My parents can remember when the tunnels were built and being 'operationally ready.'

Ja 1271 is from Steam Inc

Why was the Oberursel so loud ? sounded like the flywheel was touching some of the panel steel ?

не воткнуть лайк это просто преступление

6:58 I remember when this steam engine was still in use in the early 1970's when I was in intermediate school. The steam exhaust exited through the wall of the building onto the railway tracks at Morningside. They were driving an electrical generator with it. The boiler was fueled with scrap wood and sawdust

That is outstanding, I didn't realise how long the track available was. Great ride.

What a great video. And what a great choice of music to accompany the clips. Very professional

The 893 motorman seems to have given you a nice smooth ride.

Hope the "dj" isn't there anymore. Playing bad music while a girl just stands there. Paying for 2 people to play a cd, a bad cd. Waste of money and not entertaining

why r there 2 gauges?

Excellent compilation, thanks for posting.

I'm going to be in Auckland in March, and I'm really looking forward to visiting MOTAT. Love the videos.

This museum is far better than our own here in australia.

I had to look it up via Google, but the track gauges are 4' and 4'8.5".

Being a 6th generation Perth boy born in 1984, I remember them very well. Rode them many times.

Condolences for your loss Scott. Glad you could do this to honour your Fathers life. I’ve practiced this in Hamilton and it’s not easy. Dan Watson. Hamilton.

So sorry to hear about your loss - ringing a mourning bell is a beautiful way to mark the solemnity. Sending you light and love.

Bless, that connection in a tactile way, must be hard on so many levels. Brave, and real. Sending big hug.

That was a beautiful commemoration of your father's life Scott. Hugs and sympathy to you and yours.

Street kids used to live in them there's more around NZ Welly devonprt etc

The last dates we read were 1984 we were there like 94

I been inside the tunnels under the high court with my mate Phil we were riding out bikes and s tree had come from storm and I could see a way in as I knew of them so in we went we got to the tunnel up to government house and turned back we were on top of the unfired bricks and it was scary as torches but nobody knew we were in there so we went back it's twin tunnels had train tracks

Damm, i thought it was albert park in Melbourne. Bloody cousin's ripped me off😂😂😂

No.they are thousands of years old like Auckland war memorial museum. The entire narrative is occult BS.

If I remember correctly, the last station on the Southern Line used to be Pukekohe Railway Station

The Westminster chimes in the distance are from the clock tower in Cook’s Gardens

Birkenhead army base is a no go area also.

Learn something new everyday.

My dad and his cousins worked in the "factory" that made the bricks. They were slightly smaller than a hollow-stone block, and loaded into the tunnel off the back of trucks. And, according to him, there are a LOT of places that were left unfilled, because the Ministry of Works had a deadline and fell behind, so they cheated.

Another place to look is in Whangarei... End of Banff Street is a cave... possibly man made... I found it when i was a kid.....

Been into these tunnels back in the 90s back then there was a small hole in the wall at the Constitution hill entrance. The blast suppression area was intact then and not filled up with clay bricks, it was full of rusty metal, perhaps old bunk beds or seating. The unfired bricks that had been used to fill the tunnel formed a muddy slippery mess that we had to belly crawl over. There were large chunks of original roof that had collapsed and it was pretty hard going. We made it a good way along that tunnel, before the consensus was that it was too dodgy to continue as the crawl space became narrower due to collapse. I regret not finishing the adventure but didn't wish to do it on my own.

At a time when the Albert tunnels could have been used to create a transport hub connecting the existing Auckland Railway station to the CBD they were given to control of a private developer to become some sort of theme park. Meantime an underwater site was chosen downtown and a huge whole was dug. That resulted in a massive power blackout the cause of which quickly disappeared from the news as politicians and bureaucrats covered their arses. Now the "old" railway station has been repurposed as a slum. And some people made a boat load of money. Ahhh! History.

The first was 5 bells

So why did they destroy it all?

I want to go to your place and see these trams.

We still have not used this service. So far, we have tried to use it 3 times. First time no return trip at the right time. Second try, trip cancelled due to works. This weekend was a bank holiday, ten of us planed a trip together, guess what, busy holiday time, no service. Just like UK trains. Ohh well, got to go in 2 cars now.

Very useful tips for my upcoming Northern Explorer trip 👍👍👍

“completed in 2024” 🤡

fascinating...!

Great video. Like me

Nice video. Like me🤩😁😄!

IAM glad someone has bought the station building, it's of a similar design to the old Tuakau and Tekawhata stion

This would’ve been so good during the last school holidays! We had to take turns holding our lazy 3 year old around the long way 😩

I was an "inmate" of the Children's Home top of Owen Street, Newtown, Wellington as a child and one of these trams was given to the home. Loved playing in it.

What a great treasure we have to enjoy at MOTAT ,pity they didnt leave the whole network across Auckland in place ,my grand kids are coming up in july and they are very much looking forward to going onm the MOTAT trams ,i live just down the road and enjoy seeing them every day in action My Dad used to tell me about riding the old tram network back in the day to get around central Auckland on a tram

Come back to Perth!

Hi.my.is.oliver.😊

All of these tunnels - the ones in North Head and these ones - should be repaired and opened up to the public! They would make great tourist attractions and they're part of our history.
