N.Z. carriages for Orient Express
PA Auckland Fourteen Silver Star carriages, idle since taken off the Auckland-Welling-ton run in 1979, have been bought by the company which runs the famous Orient Express. The company, Venice Simplon - Orient - Express, .plans a service from Singapore to Kuala
Lumpur and Bangkok. The company’s chief executive, Mr John Roozemond, said the refurbished coaches would bear little resemblance to the Silver Star sleepers. “We will gut them completely. The only things that will be left will be the frame, the bogies, and the exterior,” he said.
