The Clifton mural showcases the Cable Car history and the people that were involved in its development. The black and white section of the mural features the founders of the Cable Car; including James Fulton and Martin Kennedy. The middle section is the Relentless Red Rattler that were used from the 1950s to the late 1970s.

The new rainbow mural in the Lambton Quay Terminal is the work of local illustrator Gina Kiel. "This colourful rainbow landscape mural represents the Cable Car experience as a moving connective path through the continuum of time from history to current day and beyond," Kiel says.
This mural is part of a Wellington City Council-supported programme pakiTara-toi, to put more art on walls in the city.

Light Shows in the Tunnels
Our locals have named this 'The time-travelling tunnels.'
Developed by interactive lighting designer Angus Muir, passengers that ride through the two 100 metre long tunnels will be surrounded by bursts of LED lights that flash on and off to create some stunning patterns and imagery. The new lights can be programmed with set routines to feature specific content for special events.
Check out our YouTube channel and Facebook for video and photos of the lights.
