Wow
I meant, wow!
Thanks Ian, and thanks Matt for the post 🙂
Love the third picture in particular. Auckland finally looks like a real city.
Thought the exact same thing. 😀
An old crappy hotel, overpriced student accommodation, ugly overhead wires, and noisy train overpasses make a “real” city? We have ages to go yet, train is a good start, how about some more bike to with that http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VEyWvQVsHBw/T7pm8y1piKI/AAAAAAAABgI/pa95HIyiwQQ/s1600/delft_bikes.jpg
I love the meshing of new with old; the city has a ton of character in that shot.
Really nice shots. Jonty, do you have a Flickr account?

Turns out I can’t finish sentences,either.
*I was referring to the fourth shot, not the third.
Great photos. 2nd one is great – those are big trains.

ever heard of Airbus?

As I said I know little about Spain other than once having a two day headache after drinking Spanish wine at a London winebar. (Everyone I was with had the same reaction – I am guessing it was the ethylene glycol 1992 a nasty year for the vintage)
Awesome stuff. Good coverage of the big day too transport blog peeps!
I love the fourth picture, it’s ghetto and quite Asian/Japanese, if it wasn’t for the graffiti! Reminds a bit of the route through Kings Cross/Edgecliff on the Eastern Suburbs line.
