From Lately, 10:40 pm on 27 April 2021

The Kingston Flyer has made its first major journey in eight years taking part in the Great Southern Steam Train Tour. The heritage train has been restored and now has its passenger license.  A lucky 360 passengers rode the Kingston Flyer as a special treat while the vintage steam train waits to get its final resource consents to resume operating as a regular attraction. Pounamu Tourism Group's managing director, Paul Jackson, joins Susana Leiataua to chat about the Great Southern Steam Train Tour, and in particular the Kingston Flyer.
