Kingston Flyer relaunched

Posted by travel memo on 4 November 2011 | 0 Comments

Southland’s famous vintage steam train, Kingston Flyer carried its first paying passengers in two years, when more than
1000 fans filled five sold-out trips last Saturday.

The train, which had been idle after its previous owners went into receivership in NOV09, owing $4.7 million, was rescued
by Marlborough vineyard owner David Bryce, who has big plans for the small town of Kingston, its pub and its train.
