Enjoyed the video. I've had the pleasure of being up front a couple of times in DLs. Interesting to see the view and both times, the LE's were very professional and patient in answering my questions.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the comments. Yes being up front with an interested Driver makes the day out most worth while.

9:31 If someone is coming through the tunnel the other way the impact might almost knock your drink over. :D Some of this line looks like it needs some serious TLC. Great footage though! :D Thanks for sharing it! :D

Some of the infrastructure through the Manawatu gorge and central Hawkes Bay was in a pretty poor state when this was shot. At some stage; money is going to have to be spent on replacing or repairing those old timber bridges and laying fresh concrete sleepers. Especially now the road on the other side is history. That will allow for faster running times though.

@1peter kahui Well... ...John Key and every other NZ PM since about the 1940s. I agree that John Key sucked though.
