Aotea Quay

For several years I worked for the NZR in Wellington in the Signals
division, but in fact never worked on a signal except for three
months at Kiawharra prefab unit.
Our electrician's workshop was situated behind the Car and wagon
depot in a peculiar shaped building which I understand was a gunnery
training depot during WW2.
There was a railtrack across from the wharf at this point, but rarely
used.
Now of course covered by that enormous Cake Tin !!
It was not far from the Goods yard "Roundhouse".
It was however right on the Aotea Quay trolleybus route.
Every morning I would watch the three trolleys go down and back.
Lunch time produced a lunch time service. And in the evening another
three trolleys would pass.
After a time I realised that sometimes the buses did not come back !!!
I would then invent some reason to get down to the terminus where
inevitably a trolley bus would have broken its trolley poles backing
into the terminus.
