Anthonie Tonnon: the pop star operating New Zealand’s oldest public underground lift

Despite being busy with a new album, the musician and public transport enthusiast is also running an elevator service

With his slicked back Berlin-era Bowie haircut and fine wool suit, New Zealand singer-songwriter, public transport advocate and now, operator of Whanganui's Durie Hill Elevator, Anthonie Tonnon cuts a dapper figure and looks right at home in the rich wooden interior of the 102-year-old lift.
