Dunedin Railways yesterday announced it would no longer provide the service to the town, which in recent years has run about 20 times annually. Council chief executive Sue Bidrose said it only heard about the decision late yesterday. Subsequently, Dunedin Railways’ parent company Dunedin City Holdings Ltd spoke to the train operator. Dr Bidrose was then assured no decision would be made until the community and the council had been consulted.
