farewell to the English Electric multiple units is on Monday


We gather the last use of one of these - which have been used around the Wellington region since 2 July 1938 - is on the Melling line line next Monday.  It departs Wellington Station at 2.17 pm and returns back from Melling Station at 2.39 pm on the timetabled Melling Line service. It will be a melancholic occasion for Peter Shirtcliffe types and full of nostalgia for everyone else.

Here one is seen 4 days ago passing through Petone (Daniel Garland)
