Getting There By Rail
New Zealand’s rail service is operated by the Tranz Scenic rail company (tel: (0800) 872 467 or (04) 495 0775; website: www.tranzscenic.co.nz). Trains are efficient and reasonably priced but rare, operating more as a tourist service than a business or commuter network.
Rail services: There is a range of Tranz Scenic rail routes from all major New Zealand cities, including the daily service to Auckland, as well as an overnight service from Sunday to Friday (journey time – approximately 11 hours).
Transport to the city: Wellington Railway Station is a two-minute walk from Downtown Wellington. It is the departure point for coaches, shuttles and taxis.
