Taieri Gorge Railway's offers another reason to ride the train

September 28, 2009 - 7:52pm

Passengers travelling on the Taieri Gorge Railway's summer Seasider trains from tomorrow will be able to opt to board the "Orokonui Express", and combine the trip with a guided tour of Orokonui Ecosanctuary.

The Seasider train usually offers a half-day trip between Dunedin and Palmerston on selected days during Summer.

Those booking for the Orokonui experience will travel by train from Dunedin to Waitati, and then transfer to a bus for their trip to the ecosanctuary.

At the ecosanctuary, they will receive a 90-minute guided tour, followed by a bus trip to Port Chalmers, from where they will catch the train back to Dunedin.
