Christchurch to Greymouth
Petra Blumberg -
Good trip.
Simon -
Should be an 11/10.
Kilsby -
A nice scenery.
Wolfgang Dittrich -
Beautiful landscapes but expensive.

The ride covers some interesting territory but not as spectacular as advertised.
The "plus" service, which includes dinner, is not worth the additional money. This is especially true if you are planning to go only half way to Arthur's pass, because only half the service is completed at the full price.
-
No where as spectacular as the train journey from Auckland to Wellington.
Plus breakdowns meant we were running 3 hours late and consequently were travelling at least 2 and a half hours in the dark missing the scenery we booked the trip to see.
Can’t recommend this on.

Train is pretty comfortable, but even one way was too expensive for what the brochure said about the scenic experience.
Good coffee though.
-
Best train trip I have experienced in my life so far.
Stunning views!! Would definitely recommend this to any traveller in New Zealand as it is really a unique journey.

We got the train from Springfield rather than paying to go through the suburbs and Christchurch which was a good idea.
Enjoyed the trip, great views, especially from the observation carriages but then you could not listen to the commentary. There was no notification that the train was running over an hour late on return - a notice could have been posted at the station.

I travelled from Greymouth to Christchurch.
A great and comfortable journey over the New Zealand Alps. Open air carriage is perfect for taking photos. Not a cheap adventure though.
-
great trip from Christchrch to Greymouth.
Greymouth doesnt sound like such a good place to visit but we had a great time. A wonderful cycle trail, an awesome glow-worm cave tour with a zipline and some great rinforest kayaking
-
Scenic trip Greymouth to Christchurch.
Well worth the money and well organised.

Very good sight of mountains and rivers and the most comfortable train ever.
Price high.
-
Comfortable carriages with clean windows for taking photos.
Return trip seating allowed viewing of both sides. Friendly staff, excellent quality food (best steak pie in New Zealand), shame that the audio system is not inside and outside.
-
Mixed feelings.
Did the return trip, outward our carriage had no commentary, lots of photo opportunities. On return, less people and the driver did not want to stop at all.
