Wellington Tramway Museum - 50th Anniversary Celebration (HD)
WTM Website:
*Apologies for the late upload.*
On the 19th of December 2015, the Wellington Tramway Museum held their 50th Anniversary Weekend Celebrations. We attended the Saturday part of the celebrations which was for invited guests, members and their family. It was a lovely outing, with many formalities of speeches and cake-cutting, and then a cavalcade of the 3 operational trams down to the beach terminus. We follow the day's activities in depth with a full running commentary.

EXPLORING WELLINGTON'S spectacular CABLE CAR RIDE (NEW ZEALAND) ????
SUBSCRIBE!! - Let's go for a ride on Wellington's cable car, a spectacular funicular railway between Lambton Quay, the main shopping street, and Kelburn, a suburb in the hills overlooking the central city, rising 120 m (394 ft) over a length of 612 m (2,008 ft). It is widely recognised as a symbol of Wellington.
Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, sits near the North Island’s southernmost point on the Cook Strait. A compact city, it encompasses a waterfront promenade, sandy beaches, a working harbour and colourful timber houses on surrounding hills. From Lambton Quay, the iconic red Wellington Cable Car heads to the Wellington Botanic Gardens. Strong winds through the Cook Strait give it the nickname Windy Wellington.
New Zealand is a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean consisting of 2 main islands, both marked by volcanoes and glaciation. Capital Wellington, on the North Island, is home to Te Papa Tongarewa, the expansive national museum. Wellington’s dramatic Mt. Victoria, along with the South Island’s Fiordland and Southern Lakes, stood in for mythical Middle Earth in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films.

Wellington 1959 archive footage
Archival footage shot by an American filmmaker while visiting New Zealand in 1959.
It contains stock footage of Wellington, the capital of the Country: streets outside the city, the harbor, Midland Hotel (destroyed in 1972), the tram (service ended in May 1964), Johnston Street, ships docking at the port, and more.
Comment by Keith McGavin of the Wellington Tramway Museum: At 1'02 a route 3 tram is shown in Lambton Quay passing the Midland Hotel. This specific model (a Mk.1 double saloon) and number of tram was withdrawn about 1959 and the last route 3 trams ceased by March 1961. I would say this part of the footage is not later than 1959.
Please, comment if you recognise more subjects or you can be more accurate to date it.

Wellington's new bus-route
The much disputed new bus-route through pedestrian-only 'Manners Mall' was opened on 28 November 2010.
WELLINGTON TROLLEYBUS (2017) [R.I.P. 2017]
Das O-Bussystem in Wellington zählte bis zur Stilllegung am 31.10.2017 als letztes städtische Netz, welches im Linksverkehr bedient wurde (außgenommen Museumsbetriebe). Die Entscheidung zur Stilllegung fand international große Kritik und wurde aufgrund des Ersatzes mehrfach verschoben. Diese Szenen zeigen nocheinmal das ganze Streckennetz im aktiven O-Busverkehr, welches von den erst jungen Designline-Fahrzeugen bedient wurde. Leider wurden zahlreiche Kurse bereits durch Dieselbusse ersetzt, bedingt durch nichtmehr einsatzfähig gehaltene Fahrzeuge. O-Busse fuhren zur Besuchszeit tlw. auch nurnoch werktags und das bis etwa 20 Uhr...dannach folgte komplette Dieselverkehr bis in die Nacht. Der umweltfreundliche Stadtverkehr per O-Bus sollte durch ein umweltfreundliches Energiespeichersystem ersetzt werden, welches auf die ehemaligen O-Busse umgebaut wird. Jedoch scheiterte dieses Vorhaben und man setzte nach Stilllegung auf gebrauchte Dieselbusse - eine Entscheidung, welche im Jahr 2017 wohl bei keinem normal-denkenden Menschen auf dieser Welt auf Verständniss trifft.

50 years of Wellington Trolleybuses
Heritage trolleybuses from all 5 New Zealand Cities that once operated trolleybuses came to Wellington to Celebrate the 50 years of Trolleybuses operation in Wellington. The event was in March 1999, 3 months short of the actual anniversary day as the Weather would likely be better . The event planers were right.
Over the first two day of the event heritage trolleybuses toured the whole system on enthusiast trips. On the final day parade of heritage buses operated through the city centre. Following the parade the buses operated a circle trip through the CBD for the public to take a ride.
The event was such a success the question everybody asked was could this happen again. The answer yes, but there was only to be one more event. A smaller event to accelerate 100 years of street traction occurred in 2004. Electric trams commenced operation in Wellington in 1904. In the late 1940's the decision was taken to replace trams with Trolleybuses with first trolleybus route opening in 20 June 1949. Despite new trolleybuses and overhead line renewal from 2007 the regional council decided to close the system in 2014. And so trolleybus operation ceased on 31 October 2017.
No celebration on 20 June 2019, just memories
