NZ Bus No. 380 at the Interchange 16/3/2017
Go Wellington Designline Citybus Trolley No. 380 of June 2009, with Designline B43DW bodywork, snapped on Thursday, 16 March 2017, arriving at the Lambton Interchange near the Wellington Railway Station.
The trolleybus holds sentiments in that it was the first of the Designline production model trolleybuses that I got to ride on during a Foxton Probus dayouting in Wellington on Tuesday, 8 March 2011, and more recently joyriding on it on Tuesday, 14 March 2017, when deciding to ride it all the way to the Miramar terminus (but pulled the pin at Caledonia St. in Miramar in order to grab the next bus along at the bus stop across the road in order to get back to the station in time...that plan turning to custard), caused us to to miss the 1.44pm train that day in order to get back to Waikanae in time to catch the Route 290 Uzabus coach back to Levin.
Result of that was booking seats on the 3.30pm InterCity service coach to Wanganui to get back to Levin from Wellington Station.
Prior to my first ride on No. 380 in March 2011, I had previously only ridden on the three Designline prototype trolleybuses, Nos. 301, 302 and 303 of 2003/2005.
For Thelma, also from Foxton and who has so far accompanied us on all the Route 290 dayouter services from Levin to Waikanae, it was her first ever ride on a trolleybus.
