Welcome to the Waitemata Harbour Waitematā 2. Currently hanging with Waitematā 1, Te Komiti and Te Waiarohia.

Waitematā 2 is an identical build to its sister ship Waitematā 1 which was launched into service earlier in 2026.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but this quote really makes me think of both of Te Huia's terminating points, lol.

NB4019 has dropped its orange OuterLink livery and rear door (as seen in picture 1 from 2021) in favour of a plain white coat of paint and a few GoBus logos recently. The bus now does school runs in West Auckland and replaces the former 1400s that previously served the route.

Can’t believe there was a second gas leak within a month on the same bit of Broadway. Looks like it’s back open now but has buses detoured again down Carlton Gore Road.

From very big to very small. Electric Autobus also had on display one of their VSB’s (Very Small Bus). This bus is also a CRRC, with this particular model being the eS6. Currently this same model is in use on Timaru’s MyWay by Metro service.

A lucky lunchtime spot, seeing Te Huia passing through on its way to Westfield for between service stabling.

Kinglong had their PEV13 on display at the Bus and Coach Association Conference. Seemed like a nice well assembled bus, but the entire inside felt like a Geely C13e.
