The Northerner was an overnight passenger train between Wellington and Auckland in New Zealand. Originally numbered 227 southbound and 626 northbound, it replaced the unnamed and less revered ordinary express trains supplementing the luxurious Silver Star (later the Eastern & Oriental Express), which had replaced the Night Limited in 1971. The Northerner operated from Monday, 3 November 1975 to Friday, 12 November 2004.
Overnight services between Auckland and Wellington began in 1908 when the line between the two cities was completed. The inaugural trip took Prime Minister Sir Joseph Ward and other Members of Parliament to Auckland to greet the American Pacific Fleet.
A Northerner is an unestablished informal term used by the general public in Ghana to refer to Ghanaians who hail from the three northernmost Regions of Ghana namely; the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions. Examples are Dagombas, Gurunsi and Wala people. Its opposite; Southerner - is less often used to describe Ghanaians who do not come from these three regions. Zongo people though significantly represented across the country are excluded from such categorizations because they do not come from any of Ghana's ethnic tribes.
However, official cardinal classifications of Ghana consist of the Savanna, middle and Coastal belts. This type of categorization is relevant in meteorology and agriculture. Oftentimes, the terms Southern and Northern zones are used to divide the country into two halves - Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, Northern, Upper West and Upper East regions on one end, and Greater Accra, Central, Western, Eastern, and volta on the other, respectively.
