Thread: Cook Strait Ferry

once upon a time the ferry didnt stop in picton...it went right down to littleton,or so Im told...bit before my time.... so there is options to bypass picton....sure its further and will cost more...but its an option....even Grant R said on the "idiot lantern" last night..he had given kiwi rail the word and suggested a cheaper option..so it was time bomb waiting to explode and the previous lot knew about it...
the amount of freight that crosses every day is huge....think 15-20 truck n trailer units

My first ferry trip was on the maiden voyage of the Rangatira (might not be spelt right) to Lyttleton. A civilised way to travel. Woke up in the morning to a cup of tea and a biscuit and on the dock bright and early for my drive down to Dunedin.
