Changes

 At the corner or Taranaki Street and Arthur street, close to the top of Cuba street, is an excellent spot for going north. Just go after the traffic lights and there is plenty of space for people to stop safely. From the Main wellington train station, walk along the main rd towards the stadium (named waterloo quay), follow the road as it bends around past the stadium (the road changes name and is now aotea quay). then just past the bend, there is space to stand and for cars to pull over as there is a turning lane to go left into some parking. This is a really quiet car park and no one uses this lane so it is a perfect place to stand. no trouble to get rides:)Hitch spot by stadium http://goo.gl/maps/s3JY. in my opinion dont waste yourtime your time with the train.
