Callum Templeton, aged 13, of Avonhead, and Peter Bryse, aged 14, of Riccarton, help erect trolley lines at the Tramway Historical Society’s working bee on Saturday. The lines were bought from the Dunedin City Council and will cover about four kilometres. New power poles have been erected and some parts of the road altered where the lines will run. The historical society has spent nearly two years on this project and hopes to have eight trolley buses running by late next year. It is 30 years since Christchurch’s trolley-buses were taken out of service.
