The Passchendaele Heartland Flyer

This excursion will now be hauled by War Memorial Steam Locomotive Ab 608 'Passchendaele'!

Travel with Steam Incorporated north from Kapiti via the spectacular Manawatu Gorge to Woodville for an easy day out. Picking up along the way from Paekakariki, Paraparaumu, Waikanae, Otaki, and Levin, our destination today is Woodville. To get there, we travel through the famous Manawatu Gorge. Now only accessible via rail, you get a unique perspective of the monumental slips which closed the Gorge to road traffic from 2017.

At Woodville, sample the delights of the restored 1960s era station whilst our train is prepared for the run back down the coast. Meridian’s Te Apiti wind farm can also be seen from the station, occupying 1,150ha of land, with enough sustainable renewable energy to power 45,000 kiwi homes.
