Wiri Update

Early last month Matt and I visited the construction site of the new Electric train facility in Wiri under Gothic skies and were very impressed to see how much progress is being made compared to our last visit:

It won’t be long now before this stabling yard will be full of shiny new trains:

Inside the main building with its seven maintenance berths, overhead gantries, and whole train jacking systems:

All looking very impressive and on target for commissioning as the trains arrive.
