On the Wairarapa train, one station has a short platform. The announcement is "Passengers wishing to get off at Maymorn should do so from the north end of the train." Or south end in the opposite direction.

Eh? North end? South end? You think passengers are carrying a compass?! What is wrong with 'front' and 'rear' of the train for heaven's sake?

It isn't even accurate - the train doesn't travel north/south, it travels NNE and SSW.

"The only place in the New Zealand with a population decline"

Apparently NZ requires "the" now...

Unsure of its source, I was emailed it.  Also can't be sure of the editor's motivation but they did decide to publish it.  Regardless, it did make me cringe and snigger.

Must be missing something. Not quite sure why this is a dumb headline.

Yep - not a headline - just a typo.
