We booked the trip from Greymouth to Christchurch and were disappointed to learn that the first section of the journey to Arthur's Pass would be by bus. We needn't have worried. KiwiRail laid on two proper panoramic tour coaches and the driver kept up a running commentary for the whole of the 90 minute journey to Arthur's Pass. It was brilliant. Also the road runs alongside the railway line for most of the time and only diverges when the train runs into the long tunnel which takes 20 minutes. As we were on the coach, we got the amazing views going over the top of the mountains. Stunning. We then boarded the train in Arthur's Pass. Very comfortable seats and large windows perfect for viewing. Most of the time the train ambles along quite leisurely so it's easy to take photos. There's a really good recorded commentary which you can listen to through provided earphones. We loved every minute. The staff were very friendly and helpful right from the terminal in Greymouth, where we dropped our luggage off early, through to the staff on the coach and train. This was definitely a train journey not to be missed!

This trip starts on the Canterbury plains where the scenery is OK but the last 3 hours are absolutely fabulous. We got a cloudy day but still wonderful views. Journey is smooth, cafe car was good quality and staff were excellent. Very friendly. One word of warning - be careful of getting off at Arthur's Pass to stretch your legs...one traveller in our carriage left his wife and kid at the station with no phone, no money and limited English. Listen for the whistle and horn! On the other hand the staff were incredible to the distraught individual and located his spouse and arranged the reunion!

Our seats were very comfortable but I thought the observation car was too small for the number of people on board the train which was a shame as we ended up sat in our seats for most of the journey. The views were spectacular and you had commentary via a headset so you could chose to listen if you wanted to. The train arrived about half an hour late into Greymouth and it was painfully slow for the last hour or so of the journey but still a good experience & worth doing.

We took the train from Christchurch to Greymouth and really enjoyed it...especially since it was a hot, sunny day. There are headphones at each seat with a running commentary about the history, mining, geography and other aspects of this part of NZ that was extremely well done. The long tunnel was an experience in itself. May not be great on a rainy day, but we really enjoyed our trip and would recommend. One fellow traveler later told us his travel agent had suggested going only as far as Arthur's Pass because there wasn't much to see after that...we thought the entire cross-country trip was great. We have scores (and scores) of photos to prove it!

We took the train both ways on our first day in New Zealand, had good weather up to Arthur's Pass, and rain from there and on the return. It was an excellent way to see the plains and the mountains without the hassle of driving, though it meant a long day. We suggest following the advice on seat61.com for finding the best fares. Spend time in the observation car, to see the scenery without glass in the way, but take warm jacket for that!
