Trail Closure
Taumārere station - Whangae Tunnel
Recent weather has resulted in a number of trees falling and blocking access to the trail. 
The train section of the trail from Taumārere—Whangae Tunnel is closed as trees are blocking access. There will be no train connection running until Friday, 18th July. Our team is working hard to get the trail open again. We appreciate your patience.
