This map covers the area of the previous picture.

The Tiger Moth would have been above Elliot Street and the view would
be right to left on the map.

When a teenager, I inked in all the tram lines on this map which has
now well and truly reached it's "use by date"

The lines heading up Liardet Street towards Pukekura Park were taken
up many years before,

At one stage it was the intention to run the trams through the park to
Vogeltown, a plan which did not endeer itself to many !!

It would have been a reserved track "Light rail" affair.......Years
ahead of it's time !!!

Later on, the trolley buses were also supposed to go to Vogeltown, (
It was even on the TB's destination blinds.)
Bus this too got torpedoed in favour of diesel buses.

Also near the railway station believe, was a three track section, back
in the days.
