Talk:Transdev Auckland

Untitled
I have cleaned up this article, to wikify it more to an international standard. However, it would be nice to see a "route map", similar to the one located in the Tranz Metro article. Any ideas folks?--Matt von Furrie 22:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Veolia have one at their website that could be used as a reference --Loopy e 22:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Map
It would be good to have the map enlarged to include Pukekohe. It seems odd to me that the current map includes Kuemeu even though it is not part of the present network yet it excludes Pukekohe which has approx 5 return services daily.
 * That's because it's a map of the Auckland network James. --Lholden 05:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I fail to see your point since Pukekohe is indeed part of the Auckland network. Jump on a train and look at the map -- it includes Pukekohe.


 * Other map


 * Map in question
 * That's nice. I'd be more than happy if you edited it to correct it. --Lholden 15:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry thats me not logged it. I was looking for the map that used to be here, but was removed. I'm dropping it into the talk so one day someone with photoshop can edit it - I'm only a pomey with MSpaint .... Pickle 16:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. When I get the time I'll edit and correct it. --Lholden 21:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Expansion box
I don't think that the expansion box at the head of the article is needed - there's not that much more to say about the operator of the services. There's a lot more to say about service developments and about infrastructure, but that's the responsibility of ARTA and ONTRACK - Veolia is just the operating contractor.

Since this is an article about the train operator, I've moved the infrastructure stuff to ARTA. Birdhurst 01:01, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The box is, I suspect, for US Railroads. Most of the information is simply repeated (e.g. track gauge). I removed the box from the New Zealand Railways Corporation page the other day. --Lholden 01:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we're talking about different boxes - the one I'm referring to is:, which I don't think is relevant. Birdhurst 04:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Photo Request
It would be good to have some photographs of the SA / SD trains, which are former British Railways MKll InterCity carriages heavily modified for their second life in Auckland. Living in the UK I am too far to source these myself.

Push-Pull Mode
The DC Class have controls at both ends (push-pull), but is the DB Class with top-and-tail the same (ie controls in the end carriage as well) or different??
 * 2 DBR class locomotives, owned by KiwiRail, operating in top-and-tail mode with one 5-car SX set (ex Brisbane), owned by Macquarie Bank;
 * 14 DC class locomotives, owned by KiwiRail, operating in push-pull mode with 12 sets (2 more on order) of 2-4 (generally 3) SA cars and an SD driving car with driving cab and remote controls (ex British Rail Mark 2 carriages rebuilt for suburban service), owned by ARTA. from Hugo999 (talk) 10:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Otahuhu Junction?
On 22 March 2017, an IP removed Westfield Junction from the route map. On 24 March he inserted "Otahuhu Junction". I would like very much to know whether these changes are justified. Has Westfield Junction been re-designated? Akld guy (talk) 10:29, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware Westfield Junction is still Westfield Junction. A source will be needed if it's been renamed. pcuser42 (talk) 18:26, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'll allow a few more days for others to comment. Akld guy (talk) 19:22, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I changed my mind and reverted the IP's change. I've also fixed the incorrect display of Quay Park Junction and the problem with Grafton. This has meant that QPJ no longer appears. I've tried to show it properly but ran out of time. I'll try again soon. At least the map is now not incorrect and fragmented. Akld guy (talk) 20:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
