Auckland ➡ Wellington NZ on the Northern Explorer ????
Kiwi Rail's 'Northen Explorer' runs between Auckland and Wellington on the North Island of the country.
Whilst not the fastest way to travel between the two major cities, it is certainly a spectacular journey through some amazing scenery, which you can look forward to seeing in this video.
On the occasion I travelled the train was hauled by DFB7077 with a four car consist, which I believe is normal for this service. The consist included two seating carriages (no classes on this journey), a cafe car and an open air carriage. I had a good look around these in the video and got a fair bit of video of the carriages themselves.
I hope you enjoy the video, and I can highly recommend this trip!
Riverside Railway Omaka Station Opening
The Omaka branch line of the Blenheim Riverside Railway was officially opened on Saturday.
The line, which travels between Brayshaw Park and Omaka, took a dedicated team of volunteers two years to get running.
Blenheim Riverside Railway volunteer Kelvin Allen said the opening was a big achievement.
A lot of people have worked here five days a week - some have worked up to 12 hours a day.
It was a last-minute push to get the station ready in time, with some of the signs and the station fence put up the morning of the official opening.
There were speeches and several ribbon-cutting ceremonies before the gathered crowd of about 60 people had a chance to hop aboard two locomotives for a train ride to Brayshaw Park.
New Zealand Aviation Museum Trust chairman Brian Greenall acknowledged the volunteers who helped make the railway extension a reality. People who want to realise dreams and visions by voluntary means are totally barking mad, but they're barking mad in the most delightful way.
The beautiful thing about the madness is that it's totally contagious. People come along and they want to help you.
Blenheim Riverside Railway volunteer Bob Boyes said he had enjoyed his time working on the project.
I believe it's very worthwhile for the community and I think the community's going to reap the benefits - that's why I gave my time.
Blenheim Riverside Railway Society president John Orchard paid tribute to Ian Simcox, a patron of the railway extension, who died in a helicopter accident about a week before the the official opening of the branch line.
A moment of silence was held for Simcox and other volunteers who had died before the project was completed.
Orchard also acknowledged the contribution of the project's many supporters, including the Blenheim and Beavertown Lions Clubs. The clubs donated half the sales from a major book sale to the project.
That's made all the difference between a very basic platform and a gravel track, to what you see here today, which I think is a very smart-looking station.
The opening of the Omaka branch line was the first South Island branch line to open this century, Orchard said.
The Marlborough District Council contributed $60,000 towards a bridge over the Taylor River, while the Canterbury Community Trust also supported the project financially.
Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman said he was proud the council got behind the project.
You're all shareholders in this facility.

Winter Snow - Spennymoor & Bishop Auckland December 2015
Winter Snowfall - Spennymoor & Bishop Auckland December 2015
Surprise snowfall hit this part of the region today. Rain was forecast but we received around four inches of the white snow, bringing traffic chaos to the areas ungritted roads.
An RTA at Parkhead brought virtual gridlock, alternative routes became covered and inexperienced snow drivers, simply abandoned their vehicles. Making it a nightmare for everyone, by 8pm the roads were generally clear, as the gritters had been in action for several hours by then.

Places to see in ( Caerleon - UK )
Places to see in ( Caerleon - UK )
Caerleon is a suburban town and community, situated on the River Usk in the northern outskirts of the city of Newport, Wales. Caerleon is a site of archaeological importance, being the location of a notable Roman legionary fortress, Isca Augusta, and an Iron Age hillfort. The Wales National Roman Legion Museum and Roman Baths Museum are in Caerleon close to the remains of Isca Augusta. The town also has strong literary associations, as Geoffrey of Monmouth makes Caerleon one of the most important cities in Britain in his Historia Regum Britanniæ, and Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote Idylls of the King while staying there.
Caerleon is a site of considerable archaeological importance as the location of a Roman legionary fortress or castra. It was the headquarters for Legio II Augusta from about 75 to 300 AD, and on the hill above was the site of an Iron Age hillfort. Substantial excavated Roman remains can be seen, including the military amphitheatre, thermae (baths) and barracks occupied by the Roman Legion. In August 2011 the remains of a Roman harbour were discovered in Caerleon.
During the Welsh Revolt in 1402 Rhys Gethin, General for Owain Glyndŵr, took Caerleon Castle together with those of Newport, Cardiff, Llandaff, Abergavenny, Caerphilly and Usk by force. This was probably the last time Caerleon castle was ruined, though the walls were still standing in 1537 and the castle ruins only finally collapsed in 1739 - their most obvious remnant is the Round Tower at the Hanbury Arms public house. The Tower is a Grade II* listed building
The old wooden Caerleon Bridge was destroyed in a storm in 1779 and the present stone version was erected in the early 19th century. Until the Victorian development of the downstream docks at Newport Docks, Caerleon acted as the major port on the River Usk. The wharf was located on the right bank, to the west of today's river bridge which marked the limit of navigability for masted ships. A tinplate works and mills were established on the outskirts of the town, in Ponthir, around this time, and Caerleon expanded to become almost joined to Newport.
A plaque on the Mynde wall in High Street references the Newport Rising of 1839 in which John Frost of Newport was a prominent figure in the Chartist movement. John Jenkins, owner of Mynde House and owner of Ponthir Tin Plate works, built the wall to keep demonstrators out. The name of the former Drovers' Arms on Goldcroft Common bore witness to the ancient drovers' road on the old road from Malpas. It is thought that the common itself was once the site of a cattle market.
Caerleon is centred around a small common. Goldcroft Common is the only remaining of the seven commons of Caerleon. Most of the small businesses of Caerleon are near the common as is the Town Hall which has a World War I and World War II memorial garden. Caerleon library is located within the Town Hall and is associated with Newport Central Library. The intersection of High Street and Cross Street is known as The Square.
Buildings of note are Saint Cadoc's Church, the National Roman Legion Museum, the Roman Baths Museum, The Mynde, The Priory Hotel, Caerleon Catholic Church and Rectory, Caerleon Endowed School, the Round Tower, the Toll House at Caerleon Bridge, The Malt House hotel, former University of South Wales Caerleon Campus and St Cadoc's Hospital. The historic remains of the Roman Legionary Fortress Isca Augusta is popular with tourists and school parties and there is a marked heritage trail in the town. The Millennium Wildlife Garden is a small nature garden on the banks of the River Usk. The hilltop vantage point at Christchurch provides panoramic views of the Vale of Usk and Bristol Channel.
The municipal playing fields are at Caerleon Broadway and a children's playground is in Cold Bath Road. Private sport and leisure facilities are available at the Celtic Manor. Caerleon has a few restaurants, cafés and take-away food outlets and many public houses that have restaurant facilities. The Ffwrrwm is a small specialist shopping courtyard with an eclectic display of sculpture. Caerleon also has its own station of Gwent Police and an active community policing presence.

Isle of Purbeck, Corfe Castle, Swanage, Dorset England, ( 19 )
Swanage is a coastal town and civil parish in the south east of Dorset, England. It is situated at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck, about 10 km south of Poole and 40 km east of Dorchester. The parish has a population of 10,124 (2001). Nearby are Ballard Down and Old Harry Rocks, with Studland Bay and Poole Harbour to the north. Within the parish are Durlston Bay and Durlston Country Park to the south of the town. The parish also includes the areas of Herston, just to the west of the town, and Durlston, just to the south. During the peak summer season many people are drawn by the town's beautiful setting, the beach and other attractions. The town has many hotels and guest rooms though the number ( particularly of hotels ) has reduced slightly in recent years. Besides the beach, there are other local attractions including the restored Swanage steam railway and the Victorian pier. The town may also be used a base from which to visit other nearby areas of interest, such as Corfe Castle.
The town, originally a small port and fishing village flourished in the Victorian era, when it first became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort for the rich of the day. Today the town remains a popular tourist resort, this being the town's primary industry, with many thousands of visitors coming to the town during the peak summer season, drawn by the bay's sandy beaches and other attractions. During its history the bay was listed variously as Swanawic, Swanwich, Sandwich, and only in more recent history as Swanage.
The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site ~ this wonderful coast line which stretches from Orcombe Point in East Devon to The Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, is a beautiful part of this area. Swanage Tourist Information Centre (T.I.C.) is an excellent point of reference for all visitors to the area and our friendly staff will be delighted to help you plan your holiday and find out more about the area. By carefully assessing your requirements and interests the staff will ensure you have the very best information to make your holiday a real success.
While fishing is likely the town's oldest industry, quarrying has been important to the town and the local area since at least the 1st century AD. During the time of the Roman occupation this industry grew, with the distinctive Purbeck marble being used for decorative purposes in buildings as far away as London. When the Romans left Britain, quarrying largely ceased until the 12th century. The town is first mentioned in historical texts in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 877 AD. It is stated as being the scene of a great naval victory by King Alfred over the Danes: ~ This year came the Danish army into Exeter from Wareham; while the navy sailed west about, until they met with a great mist at sea, and there perished 120 ships at Swanwich. A hundred Danish ships which had survived the battle, were driven by a storm onto Peveril Point, a shallow rocky reef outcropping from the southern end of Swanage bay. In the 12th century demand for Purbeck Marble grew once again. While Purbeck marble is not suited to external use, as it does not weather well, it is however strong and suitably decorative for use as internal columns. As such the stone was used in the construction of many large churches and cathedrals being built as the time.
In contrast to the decorative Purbeck marble, Purbeck limestone, or more commonly 'Purbeck stone', has been used in construction locally since the early days of quarrying in Purbeck. Its use is less well documented as it was taken for granted as the default construction materials in the area. However, the arrival of more modern quarrying techniques in the 17th century resulted in an increase in production. The Great Fire of London in 1666 led to a period of large scale reconstruction in the city, and Purbeck stone was extensively used for paving. It was in this time that stone first started being loaded on ships directly from the Swanage seafront; before this time quarried stone had been first transported to Poole for shipping. The idea that Swanage could become a tourist destination was first encouraged by a local MP William Morton Pitt in the early 19th century, who converted a mansion in the town into a luxury hotel. The hotel is noted for having been visited in 1833 by the ( then ) Princess Victoria, later to become queen. The building was later renamed the Royal Victoria Hotel, now the building has been converted into flats and a bar and nightclub in the left and right wings respectively.
