🚂 The Kingston Flyer - June 2023 🚂
Is it possible to view the flyer in winter? 🚂
We have had people asking us if they can view the steam train in winter? Although we are closed, you can still view Ab795 and our carriages through the yard gate. Our other steam locomotive Ab778 (that is currently out of service due to needing repairs) is sitting on the Kingston Wharf along with some other heritage rolling stock. The drive to Kingston is 30mins from Frankton and is absolutely stunning! Please check the The Kingston Flyer Cafe & Bar page for their Cafe & Bar opening hours.
