Wairarapa passenger train and a Leyland Comet school bus art


In the late 1970's/early 1980's the bus waits to cross the line on its way to Mauriceville with the afternoon school run as painted by Wallace Trickett.

The train (headed by a DBR and from the green colour a 'Grassgrub' in tow) working to Palmerston North from Masterton ex Wellington would be running quite late to have met the school service here, however, it was an opportunity to create an interesting scene.

For lots more see the book Wellington Transport Memories.
