On selected Sundays of every month from December 2017 to March 2018, we will hold a “Super Sunday Specials”. These are special days for Marlburians and the general public to enjoy the Marlborough Flyer experience with friends and family at a special discounted rate.
This discounted rate has been made possible due to the support of our local sponsors and also due to the fact that on Non-Cruise-Ship Sundays, the train has time to run two return journeys (instead of one) as it can leave earlier in the morning – this allows the Marlborough Flyer to run at lower per trip operating costs, and this saving is passed on to locals.
If you wish to book a return journey, go to the One-Way trip option (Picton-Blenheim or Blenheim-Picton) and at the end, you will be prompted to add the return journey option to your booking (or you can leave it as a One-Way trip).
TRAIN DEPARTURE TIMES:
Picton: 09h00 and 14h00
Blenheim: 11h30 and 16h00
AVAILABLE DATES:
- 3 December 2017
- 31 December 2017
