Suburban Mystery Tour

Saturday 18th July 2009

We are not telling you where we are going. Just come along and enjoy the steam train adventure - east, west, north, south, around the suburbs or maybe even out into the countryside. Lunch is included and will be served to your seat as the train tours suburbia.

The train will steam out of Roma Street at around 9.00am. Who knows where we will finish? But we will bring you back to Roma Street with arrival around 2.20pm.

We cannot tell you any more (otherwise it would not be a mystery) except that it will be a great day out in the heritage carriages with open windows and with lots of soot, steam and whistling.
