Obviously, the Ministry of Transport isn’t promoting train travel, bus travel or walking as ways to get around over Summer. No wonder the Nats have cut or frozen funding for walkways and passenger transport in many NZ locations (thanks to Hamilton City Councillor, Dave MacPherson for the “heads up” on this one).
Anne Tolley is safe to take some more helicopter rides though!
Update: Apparently, the tree trunk is a train. Too clever.
Now I will expect the MOT to argue that a passenger train service between Hamilton and Auckland is “central” to the region’s tranport policy. Hooray!
Merry Christmas Sue.
The truck seems to be a train, but I can see how you wouldn’t recognize it as such as it looks nothing like the imports from the Soviet bloc that we call trains…
The main tree trunk is a train. Nice sneer though!
The lack of walking as transport is kind of ironic given that the Ministry seems to think it should be promoted…

Puh-lease, lighten up! It’s just a corporate Christmas card. Save the ammo for stuff that actually matters. There’s lots of it about.
Since there is a train in it can the South Island have the Southerner passenger service back please?
goodness me .. I didn’t realise Xmas cards could be so political.
