Or at least, that is what the New Zealand Herald (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10863486) would have you believe. Shame about the event of the story :(
They travel a lot further than I thought! :confused1: ;D
Don't see the problem, NZ is south west of Britain if you go far enough :D

Well you do have Mk2s over (under?) there I believe. And Auckland is buying something very like a narrow gauge electric version of what is used in Northern Ireland, which is pretty similar to UK classes 332 and 333!

Yep, around 100 ex BR Mk 2's in the D/E and F series - I drive them for a living! And yes, our EMU's are loosely based on the NIR stock, again themselves based on the 332's and 333's.
