The Seasider is a tourist train in the South Island of New Zealand, operated by the Dunedin Railways along the Main South Line between the historic Dunedin Railway Station and Waitati once or twice a month. Since the demise of the Southerner on 10 February 2002 it has been the only regular passenger train on this stretch of line.
