Thank you, David. I must admit it does get a bit dispiriting at times – particularly when the answers are so obvious and the geography gives few options!

I never fail to be surprised by the idiocy that is dreamt up for Wellington's transport system, whether by the regional council, the city council, central government, whoever. Since the wanton destruction of the city's modern, much-upgraded trolley bus system not even two years ago, I have given up caring and moved out. I only return to go to the airport to fly to more enlightened places.

Good on Brett for still caring. I wish him well in his hopeless task.
