Tues 20th Oct 2009 - CBT Train - Drinks - Chat

[Jonthekiwi]

Just to let all forum users and CBT members know of an up coming evening to meet up over some drinks.

Train to Huapai (Helensville train) Dep Britomart at 5:30pm
At Haupai it is a short 50 mtr walk to Huapai Tavern for an hour of drinks and discussion.
Then catch the return evening train from Huapai back to Britomart. After that, perhaps go to TRAFFIC bar next to Britomart station for continued discussion, or a couple more drinks?

Be good to see you all on board!

I guess i'll be in Tuesday since that's my last official day at Techtorium so yes from Tuesday onwards until i find a job i'm available to provide IT services to anyone it will take awhile since i'll use PT to get there

I'll be there, but to spite the Helensville run, I'll take the bus instead

The Huapai Tavern is where my car was stolen from in July. Right beside the building, under the lights. The place has bad vibes for me, so think I'll pass!

[Jonthekiwi]

Well Geoff, if you take the train.... no car required......

Will be good to have a couple of jars and talk transport, I'm in! How long does it take out to Helensville?

[Jonthekiwi]

Let's fill out the Helensville train to Huapai! Would be quite funny if we did that..or at least 50 or so turned up!

Ironically, the last time I took the Helensville train, it was a day where we had record patronage (something like 75 passengers in each direction, mostly consisting of elderly folk who boarded at Swanson). However, like I said, I am going to spite the Helensville service (that set rightfully belongs on the Eastern/Southern line where loads are much much higher) and take the bus to Huapai and back.

Why are you agsiant Helensville train services and catch a bus instead which is more polluting , why do think that Southern and Eastern line commuters deserve more than Western line commuters, I thought you supported public transport but know I know that you support canceling services which does not make better public transport
