Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Flyer, named for a train which first ran in the late 1800s, was revived in 2011 by the late David Bryce, who spent $1.3 million restoring the engines and carriages before relaunching the operation.
But it ran for only two summers, and was mothballed until a group of investors bought the train and associated land and buildings in 2017. A year ago, Mountain Scene reported Blenheim-based Pounamu Tourism Group was leasing the train from the investors with plans to restore it and get it back into commercial operation. Its plans included a fast-ferry service from Queenstown to Kingston to connect with the train. The initial focus would be on charter and tour groups, but there would be at least one weekly scheduled service, probably at the weekend. |
