The Roaring 20's and all that Jazz Festival is about to start in the Blue Mountains and the Blue Mountains Flyer may offer us Sydney-siders the perfect way to get there. Running on Saturday February 2, the Flyer will be picking people up at Sydney Central, Strathfield, Westmead and Penrith stations.

After you have enjoyed the changing views, the Flyer will then set passengers off at both Leura and Katoomba.
