Early in December 2005, an extension to the Wellington Cable Car Museum was opened. Pride of place on the lower floor (where access can be gained to the winding gear display) is Grip Car No.3 which has been restored to superb condition. On the floor above is a theatre area. These additions to an already very popular tourist attraction will be of interest to locals and visitors alike. Free admission.

A family fun day at Queen Elizabeth II Park near Paekakariki was held on 8 February 2004. As a method of transportation (and fundraising) the Wellington Tramway Society put all three operational trams into service and the Omnibus Society had three of their buses on hand to assist in moving the large group who attended down at the beach area. Buses featured are Ex-NZ Road Services Bedford SP3 No. 3583, and ex-Wellington City Transport Leyland Leopards, 1967-built No. 397 and 1978-built No. 462. The trams featured are 151, a 1923 Double Saloon, 159 a 1927 Double Saloon and 239 a 1939 Fiducia - all trams are ex Wellington City Transport stock. This album shows this preserved transport in action. See also the collection called 'Preserved trams at Queen Elizabeth Park' which gives more detail of the electric tramway.

The Kapiti Coast Electric Tramway, operated by the Wellington Tramway Society have laid tracks from the tram barn at the main road end of Queen Elizabeth II Park near Paekakariki and which run approx 1.8km through to the beach. It has operated from this site since 1965. The society operates a service at weekends and public holidays and daily from 26 December to late January. It has four operational trams, one of which dates back to 1923, and a collection of vehicles which it is currently restoring. These photographs show the 1939 built Fiducia tram which is ex-Wellington City Transport, operating on 25.3.2003 and a collection of photographs taken on 9.10.2005.

Christchurch operates a tram service, primarily for tourists, on a circuit around the main city sights. Here are some examples of the preserved trams that operate on the route.

The Wellington Cable Car which opened on 22 February 1902, operates between Lambton Quay in the central business district, up 119 metres on an average gradient of 1 in 5.06 to Kelburn, a distance of 785 metres. It begins in tunnel and passes through 2 others on its climb. There are 3 intermediate stations; Clifton, Talavera, where there is a loop and cars pass, and Salamanca. Two cars operate on the system, which is a driven balance rope operation installed in 1979. Alongside the Kelburn Station there is a museum with free entry which houses one of the former cable-hauled grip cars, and below, the former winding gear can be seen in operation. An extension to the museum was opened in December 2005 and is the subject of another collection. The Cable Car carries around 800,000 passengers a year.

Wellington has services that connect with Picton in South Island and a local commuter ferry that links the City with Eastbourne. Photographs appear in date order of being taken, so the newest addditions will be found at the end of the collection.
