Premium Carriage from Great Journeys New Zealand

In May 2024, the New Zealand company Great Journeys New Zealand, a subsidiary of KiwiRail, introduced a modernized premium-class carriage called Scenic Plus for the TranzAlpine tourist train, as reported by the company “NPO A.T.O.R.,” a leader in comprehensive supply for passenger carriages, electric trains, and socially oriented transport.

This train runs daily between Greymouth and Christchurch, traversing a scenic route through the Southern Alps on New Zealand’s South Island.

The route is 223 kilometers long, and the journey takes about five hours.

The Scenic Plus carriage accommodates 56 passengers, offering the most comfortable travel conditions.

Comfortable and spacious seats, panoramic windows, and free Wi-Fi access make the trip not only comfortable but also enjoyable.

Passengers can download the Great Journeys New Zealand app to receive travel information and learn interesting historical and geographical facts about the route.

One of the key features of the premium carriage is the dining experience, with local cuisine and drinks prepared directly on board the train.

This allows passengers to enjoy New Zealand’s culinary delights while admiring the picturesque views outside the window.

The development of the stylish and elegant interior of the carriage took over three years.

All modernization work was carried out at KiwiRail’s depot, highlighting the company’s high quality and attention to detail.

Great Journeys New Zealand plans to continue updating carriages in a similar style for use on other routes.

In addition to the TranzAlpine train, Great Journeys New Zealand operates the Coastal Pacific tourist train on the South Island and the Northern Explorer on the North Island.

Each of these routes offers unique views and experiences, making travel in New Zealand unforgettable.

The introduction of the premium-class Scenic Plus carriage is an important step in the development of tourist transport in New Zealand.

It not only enhances passenger comfort but also attracts tourists seeking a unique and luxurious travel experience.

Great Journeys New Zealand demonstrates how modern technology and high service standards can turn a regular train trip into a true adventure.

Thus, a journey on the TranzAlpine train with the new Scenic Plus carriage becomes an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the Southern Alps in comfort and with the highest level of service.

Great Journeys New Zealand continues to set high standards in tourist transportation, offering its passengers the best possible experience.
