Marlborough Flyer Steam Train - Blenheim to Kekerengu: SOLD OUT

Journey with us on a majestic steam train ride from a bygone era between Blenheim and Kekerengu.

The WWI Memorial steam locomotive was built in 1915 and later named the “Passchendaele”, in memory of the 1917 Battle of Passchendaele (New Zealand’s most costly battle in military history). The Marlborough Flyer consists of carriages from the same WW1 period.
