	List of New Zealand railway lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Zealand's railway network was constructed initially by Provincial and later central government bodies (usually the Public Works Department) of New Zealand from 1863 onwards.
		In 1993 the network was privatised, along with New Zealand Rail Limited, with the Railways Corporation retaining the land (due to particular Treaty of Waitangi claims on land taken for railway construction).
		After the company was dissolved in 1900 the railway lines and their construction were taken over by the government.

		Heritage adviser Robert McClean says that, while district councils have made inventories of historic sites, they generally emphasise buildings such as churches and Victorian villas.

		NZ seems like ages ago already, must be we are more suited to this travelling than temping but that is hardly a surprise now.
		It was really strange being back inside their place given that it was our home for the first two weeks in NZ (see old post 'the best hostel in the world') but at the same time it felt really good to be back there with such a detailed knowledge now of this amazing country.
		The NZ adventure may be coming to a close but to be honest we are quite happy to start the 21,000 km cruise back to Blighty.

	Urban Heritage - Part 1
		The built heritage of these city centres illustrates people's responses to the physical attributes of the sites and both persisting and changing activities through time during which urban places were retained, remade or replaced.
		When the railway was inserted, the core of the city was concentrated to the south, between rails and river, although this is an area twice the size of central Sydney.
		Hamer has argued that, in contrast to NZ, each of the main Australian colonies was founded from a port town that was intended from the start to be the capital, 'and to which governments committed resources accordingly.

		As was recommended by the Wilson report, operators under the Railways Bill would have to submit a ‘Safety Case’ focusing on the wider picture of safety management instead of the current very detailed “Safety Management System” (SMS).
		Heritage operators contribute towards goals that are wider than the NZTS or the National Rail Strategy by preserving links to New Zealand’s transport past through restoring and maintaining locomotives and carriages.
		I am confident the heritage and tourist rail and tram industries will continue to move forward in defining and refining their role on New Zealand’s tram and railways.

		The New Zealand government bought back the rail infrastructure in 2004 and a specific Heritage Rail Operators Agreement to use the rail network was signed meaning we can now travel on lines normally carrying just freight.
		However there are “railfan excursions” offered right through the journey where all the rail museums and preserved railway lines can be visited.
		Much of the best scenery is on lines closed to passengers, miles away from the nearest roads and our private steam train means you will among the few people able to enjoy that scenery.
