There wasn’t one the whole journey was just great. one small downside — a seat facing backwards isn’t that great on a trip like that!

We had lovely weather on our Tranz Alpine trip the day we went which meant we got some great photos. The most disappointing thing was the only commentary you got was through an APP you downloaded, spent 30 minutes trying to operate only to find it was not working. Given the average age of the passengers is 65+, I feel it would be much appreciated to have a running commentary through a PA system as the train is a tourist operation, not a commuter train. It would be preferable to have someone with a Kiwi accent that we can understand. As a consequence we missed all the history of the area and the building of the tracks, etc. And we were lucky, we had young millennials sitting opposite us who discovered the APP was not working after the 30 minutes

We needed to get to the West Coast and didn’t want to rent a car. This was my first passenger train ride. What a nice relaxing way to travel! I really enjoyed the historical commentary included with the headsets. Because of the time of year, there was a lot of mist and fog so the views were not as spectacular as they could be, but still very beautiful. The food service was somewhat limited, but the breakfast I had was good. I highly recommend arriving early to avoid standing in line and also if you’re travelling with a group and making separate reservations, put a comment in your reservation to be seated together. Luckily for us, we arrived early enough so they were able to change our seats so we were seated together.

The amazing views of the scenic journey and the wonderful staff of the train which made the journey a memorable one right from the start at the check in !!

We did not get to experience the trip due to a blockage in the tunnel at Arthur's Pass. Had to hire a car in Chch to get to Greymouth. So, we can't comment further.
