Throwback Thursday: On the buses
The tram ride to New Brighton was an institution in Christchurch for many decades.
Passengers rattled along the rails to Saturday shopping and summer picnics on the beach.
This changed in October, 1952. Out went trams, in came buses.
Christchurch mayor Robert Macfarlane drove the last rumbling old tram, festooned with banners and bunting. It towed a double-decker trailer, from the top of which the Caledonian Pipe Band played a lament.
In its wake came three of the Christchurch Transport Board's new AEC diesel buses. The band later piped the buses into New Brighton.

REDZONE DOGS - GROUP DOG WALKS
Hi guys,
I’ve started a Facebook group called Redzone Dogs. It’s a great community where we join and organise dog walks in and around the Redzone. It’s a great way to socialise your dog, feel safer when out and about late at night, and meet locals.
