Glenbrook Vintage Railway – Auckland – 1 Child

Description

Glenbrook Vintage Railway – Auckland – 1 Child – Christmas gift for a young child.   This gift entitles you to take a nostalgic 15 km trip back in time through beautiful rural countryside, aboard a lovingly restored vintage steam train to the township of Waiuku and return.  Board the train at bustling Glenbrook Station after inspecting the steam engine (the driver will be happy to answer any questions) and settle into the immaculate wood panelled carriages.  The friendly guard in vintage uniform will clip your ticket as you listen to the panting and whistling of the steam locomotive.  Smell that special aroma of the coal smoke and experience the thrill and excitement of travel by steam train.  There is a shaded picnic area and playground adjacent to the station so take a picnic or purchase refreshments from the café. The railway runs to Victoria Avenue, Waiuku which is short walk to the Waiuku township (www.waiukutown.co.nz). You can leave the train to visit historic Waiuku, have lunch, visit a café or just have a look around then catch a later train back to Glenbrook Station.
