Driving down to start the Railtrail. For a good suggestion, READ ON !

Increasingly we have people driving to Central to start the Railtrail. A good TIP for those people is for you to drive to Middlemarch and leave your car with us for either secure inside or outside storage. Catch our bus that day to Clyde where you stay the night and then start the trail the next morning, cycling back to your car. This way you don't have to wait for the bus to take you back to Clyde. As most people will finish around lunch time, if they do 4 days on the trail, you will effectively be 5 hours earlier on the road home or to your next destination.

Bookings on Railtrail under pressure for March and April

Please don't book airfares prior to getting your accommodation sorted on the trail. We are increasingly finding people are expecting that accommodation will be available and are booking airfares prior to booking accommodation. This not only leads to disapointment, but also loss of money on airfares. Please contact us for information on availability, we will only be to pleased to help.

Otago Central Rail Trail Passport

Purchasing this Passport contributes funds to the Otago Central Rail Trail Trust for on-going Rail Trail enhancement.

The Passport is both a quality souvenir and a record of your achievement.
It contains a Rail Trail map that includes information such as the location of shelter sheds (those identified with an ‘i’ symbol house information panels).
Each station site has its story and a space for you to imprint with the self-inking stamp inside the red, replica Railways Department phone box. If a stamp is missing or damaged, please refer to the poster attached to the inside of the door.
Rail Trail Passports can be bought from Trail Journeys at Clyde, Trail Journeys in Middlemarch (at the Middlemarch garage) information offices and most pubs, cafés, accommodation and other retail outlets along the Rail Trail.
Trail Journeys sells the passports at it's Clyde Trail Head headquarters and at it's base in Midlemarch. $8.00 of the $10 cost goes to upgrading the facilities that are provided for you along the Trail. You can order a passport when you plan your itinerary through us. Please note that each of our Guided Ride customers are given a passport to record their adventure.
