The train was nice and comfortable, with very clean interiors and caring staff. The seats were spacious and comfortable, with a convenient table for families placed between every set of four seats. The journey offered stunning scenic views of mountains and the beautiful natural landscapes of New Zealand. However, some areas were a bit intimidating, especially when the train passed over high bridges. The only downside was the delay in departure by about an hour, which affected the time management. Because of this, I’ve deducted a point.
Excellent experience, views and a very comfortable seat. Cabins very clean. Hot and cold drinks, plus scones and basic snacks in the buffet car. Very good staff.Be wary of very lengthy waits at hire car collection points on Greymouth Station if you hire one!!
Did the journey both ways in 1 day, completely doable but there is only a 1 hour stop in Greymouth. Very leisurely journey, comfortable seats, great views. Viewing carriages, ideal for photo opportunities.nFood and drinks available to purchase.nStaff very helpful.nVery enjoyable journey.
My wife & I recently travelled on the Tranz Alpine rail journey from Christchurch to Greymouth & couldn’t be more impressed. We travelled in the Scenic Plus carriage & highly recommend this for those who enjoy their creature comforts when travelling. From the seating comfort to the dining, the overall experience was exceptional. We took the morning trip where breakfast was served with espresso style coffees, followed by lunch service, all of which was plated & very very yummy. There was also a wide variety of drinks on offer, including bubbles, wines, beers & the list goes on. As for the journey itself, yet another breathtaking experience like everywhere one travels in this beautiful country. The journey takes around 5 hours & goes over the Canterbury plains prior to heading up the NZ South Island Southern Alps, stopping at Arthur’s Pass. There is an excellent audio guide you can follow which provides extremely informative & interesting information about each of the areas the train passes through including the Māori significance of each of these areas, as well as the efforts of the early pioneers. The Scenic Plus experience also comes with a private outdoor carriage exclusively for its Scenic Plus passengers which is another great bonus of booking Scenic Plus. Highly recommend this trip, promise you will not be disappointed.
Scenic ride and wonderful service from Greymouth to Christchurch. The food was really the cherry on top. To be honest if you’re not a big fan of train rides, this might not be the best way to spend your time in NZ, there are actually driving roads along the same path that the train take most of the time. Either way, still an unforgettable experience.
