Dunedin Venues Management Ltd chief executive Terry Davies is encouraging people to try Dunedin train trips. PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSONA summer trial of train trips from Dunedin will be a chance for the rail operator to test the waters and, if it goes well, themed rides could be a feature of the city’s future. A ride connected to Valentine’s Day — expected to feature Champagne and chocolates — is one themed trip that will be tried by Dunedin Venues Management Ltd this summer. But if New Zealanders want to make sure Dunedin train trips carry on after March, they will need to support a series of Sunday trips that start on December 20. The Inlander trip would feature gorges, bridges and tunnels, and follow part of the route constructed during Otago’s gold rush.
