Book your steam train ride for 20-21 January!
Join us for a steam train ride on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st January 2018! Ride from Taupo Quay Whanganui to East Town and return, and Taupo Quay Whanganui to Kai-iwi and return.
Ride behind Mainline Steam's immaculately restored Steam locomotive JB1236 in air-conditioned carriages with large viewing windows. The observation carriage has a viewing platform so you can experience the sound of the steam engine.
Enjoy the sights of Whanganui from the train and be part of this fun-filled festival weekend as we run 3 trips on Saturday afternoon and 3 on Sunday. Fun for the whole family with tickets from as little as $20 per adult.

We look forward to seeing you on the train!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
