Meri Kirihimete me te Hape Nū Ia! (Merry Christmas and a Happy New year

Although not quite seasonal (early spring) the driver of 941 made a snowman on the headstock of his loco while waiting to cross a southbound train at Rarimu on the mountainous central section of the North Island Main Trunk line (wellington-Auckland)

The UTA bus from Great Victoria Street to Dunmurry, Lambeg, Lisburn and Brookhall Mill is quiet tonight, though packed. A full night shift on it - girls from Lisburn Road, the "Village" and Stranmillis, but no conversation. Happy Christmas to the mill owner on the Malone Road....but the bus girls, they've rent to pay. Cigarette smoke, musty upholstery and condensation on the windows fill the claustrophobic atmosphere. On Christmas Day, the last train left Belfast at 5.12 - too early. Tonight, the shift gets the girls a shilling extra. Tomorrow, it's back to the train - the "GNR".
