Coronavirus: Dunedin's Taieri Gorge railway to be mothballed, 51 jobs may go
Dunedin Railways Ltd is closing for the forseeable future with the likely loss of 51 jobs.
The company operates tourist trains from Dunedin including the Taieri Gorge Railway tour and Pacific Coastal railway lines, which are popular with visiting cruise ship passengers and international tourists.
Chairman Kevin Winders said the track and equipment would be mothballed as the effects of Covid-19 on tourism compounded the company's existing financial challenges.
It was not being closed permanently but trains would be parked up indefinitely, effectively going into hibernation, he said.
