Park and Ride with the WA165

Arrive at our open days in style on the WA165.

The Inner Harbour will be a busy pedestrian hub during our open days, so take our free park and ride option and enjoy a short trip on the WA165 from the railway station to the Inner Harbour.

The WA165 was built at Dunedin’s Hillside Workshops in 1897, and is the only remaining WA class train. It spent most of its working life on the heavily graded railway line between Gisborne and Motuhora. Now the WA165 is retired but comes out for special steam trips and excursions.

This event is part of the Tuia – Encounters 250 programme.
