Stages of Completion

[edit]

It appears the Western line from Swanson - Newmarket is part of the first stage, rather than the second stage. There's plenty of pictures of the electrification now installed between Swanson - Henderson. The Onehunga branch is now about 95% "wired", and enabling works have been completed on the Parnell bank (although this appears to have more to do with the new station next to MSL), so I assume the next stage will be extending the Onehunga electrification northwards to Britomart from Penrose? This map from the old Project DART website simply states that electrification is to be installed from Papakura - Swanson. --LJ Holden 02:02, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Compat. with NIMT system?

[edit]

I've seen some discussion online that the two systems are not actually compatible due to the frequency being used; NIMT is 25kV at 50hz while the Auckland system will use a lower frequency... can anyone confirm this? I haven't found anything on the actual frequency, just the voltage. --LJ Holden 22:24, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was something to do with the maximum current draw. I've also heard that trains running on the Auckland system can run on the NIMT, but not vice versa without modifications. pcuser42 (talk) 22:53, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes I think that's what I've read is the issue, not frequency. In which case we should probably explain the two systems aren't actually compatible? --LJ Holden 00:09, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a cite needed template to the statement in question. --LJ Holden 00:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand AM class electric multiple unit

[edit]

I think it's time we split the rolling stock off from this article into its own. I've created a re-direct (as per title above, in line with other rolling stock articles) but want to discuss first. --LJ Holden 05:04, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I was actually thinking about proposing this earlier, but never got around to it. pcuser42 (talk) 06:00, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done :-) --LJ Holden 06:27, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Updated - end of February 2016

[edit]

Up to 27 February 2016, the article was badly out of date, with some sentences implying or even stating that electrification was yet to start. It was substantially altered on 27-28 February by a series of edits designed to bring it up to date. Akld guy (talk) 03:06, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
