I think this is one of the most beautiful countries in the world ... with its incredible landscapes. This was a beautiful videos (1 and 2)
Great video. Really enjoyed it, it reminds me back 32 years ago when I was driving to Picton from Christchurch. New Zealand is a peaceful and beautiful country.
I was lucky to travel on this train with my family, from Christchurch to Picton.
It was an exquisite ride...most beautiful scenery and gorgeous beauty of NZ.
We traveled in December 2019...
And this videos is beautifully done.
Brings back the memories.
Would recommend that this journey should be on your bucket list...
The video you made is superb, especially the effort you made to inform the viewers with all interesting updates in easy-to-read text appearing below is worth appreciating. Kudos👌🏼
Nice video. Great watching on a lock down morning - feel like I’ve just had a holiday!
Nice comment

Thank you for a beautiful train journey! Shooting from the open carriage made all
the difference .The sound of wind made the journey truly realistic. We had driven thru
quite a bit but this was a different perspective.
Thanks again.
Great video! I like that the narration is typed, leaving the sounds of the train untouched. Great filming and editing!
A superb video. Thank you so much for the upload. I have taken some of my friends on this train from Auckland to Wellington, and from Picton to Christchurch. Aotearoa is one of the most scenic countries. I wish more Kiwis ,especially teachers, would make an effort to take their children and students on a Kiwi by Rail trip across the two beautiful, scenic Islands.
I immigrated to New Zealand 25years ago and have travelled extensively as it is amazing to see new places of interest.
Keep up the great work! Much Aroha and blessings.
Fully enjoyed the train journey, being "in home". Thank you.
Beautiful video...your passion for trains and scenery has really shown through...as a New Zealander who has made this trip a couple of times...you nailed it!
Beautiful country.. very peaceful environment.. thank you for uploading this beautiful video
It's wonderful to travel with you along the coast of South Island NZ. Fabulous scenery and very enjoyable. Stay safe at this awful time and Cheers from Australia.
Ya.
It's good
Thanku expressing your feelings
God bless you
My heartfully wishes to you
Travelled on this train in October last year. Incredible journey and scenery. From uk.
When this,virus is over, NZ definitely on the agenda. In 1969 took a tour around the whole of the country. Time to go back. Best scenery.
Wonderful comments

What happened to you. ?
That was great! I love the information you provide along the way. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Just brilliant film. It's like touring sightseeing and couldn't stop viewing. Very happy to see this video. Train is excellent as I've never experienced in my country. Salisbury park.
Thank you for the wonderful train ride, it was so interesting and well shot.
I hope this encourages more Kiwis to try it out after the lurgy has passed. And, yes, our Summer only really starts in mid to late December, but then often forgets to end until the start of May. But never fear it is true that we can have all four seasons in the average day here, being a truly maritime climate. I'm certainly planning to see more of my Aotearoa.
Amazing train journey! It felt like I too was traveling with you. The information you gave as subtitles added to the enjoyment. Now I want to see NZ and definitely go on this train. Love from India.
Wow.. Fascinating and scintillating video.. Simply awesome.. Love to visit NZ one day.. Love to play praise and worship songs in wooden bamboo flute on the way..
Thanks, so good to see this journey again. Sadly the weather was not on your side. I got some amazing pics from the old fashioned observation car 👍 I was going the other way, sunset into Kaikoura. Thanks for the video
Thanks for this well-filmed journey. The nuggets of information you gave us along the way were very interesting. Very nice. I enjoyed this.
You make a good traveler. Observant, not afraid to get the wind in your face, and you have done your homework. Well done!
I like the Black Sand Beach. A beautiful beach it is. The train runs fast and quiet. The Drivers must be good hearted and smart be on drives. Weather is good and must have have been the salty air blowing from the Ocean.
There used to be an overnight ferry from Wellington to Christchurch which carried railway wagons as well as road traffic. So I guess the railway wasn’t so essential back then. My grandmother used to take it on her own to spend summer with her grandparents in Christchurch, in the 1910s. The last flagship of that service was the Wahine, which foundered in the Wahine Storm, in Wellington 10th April, 1968. My crazy mother still drove me to school in that!
I remember that day as a youngster was quite a tragedy for the country a friend of mine new the helmsman of the wahine
First time watching NZ images , so much beautiful . Thanks for share it . Greetings from Brazil.
High quality film, interesting views shown and informative. I enjoyed watching, possibly as much as you did making it. Thank you.

I travelled on this train. It is indeed beautiful scenery in those parts. From Australia.
Love the colors in this video beautiful job. For people living in a big city such as London this journey would have seemed like magic.
Indeed it's a dream journey!I wish one day will get to travel this magic journey..
Loved it. Really interesting sub-titles. Looking forward to visiting one day to do the train trips.
I did all three legs in January 2020 after returning from Antarctica. A great way to see this beautiful country. I will go again if I get the chance.
Living in Auckland for one and half year, never had the chance to explore these beautiful sites of NZ.

The scenery is amazing, the nature is still natural, fertile, wide. Thank you so much for taking me as if to go to New Zealand complete with Pacific Ocean. Once again, thank you very much for sharing the video.

Fine video, no selfie to distract from the scenery
Nice video & Beautiful nature 👌
Love from India 🤘👌👍😍
Citizens of new Zealand are blessed, would love to move this country and contribute to its progress
Ah memories of home, thank you. Had the pleasure of riding the old train service back in the early 80s. It was a horrible experience to say the least. Good to see that the carriages and catering has improved (there was NO catering on the train back then, you had to wait until Kaikoura for a disgusting Railway pie). FYI - Around the 31:00 mark you are looking at the Saltworks of Lake Grassmere if anyone is wondering what works are there.
Wonderful video and informative captions. Thanks you!
A magnificent video. Thank you for posting.
Nice vidio very beautiful scenery.
This looks amazing. Thank you! 😍😍
Am adding it to my bucket list. 👍
Wow. It’s a wonderful video.
Thank you very much
New Zealand is extremely Beautiful.
Yes
Good comment
it's really unique video.
I like it too much.
Thank YOU.
Very beautiful trip .....👍🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Yes indeed one of the best ways to view the beautiful country side where most visitors dont have that privilege if drive in car stay safe out there beautiful new zealanders and visitors thank you for sharing such a serene country side upload.
December is still VERY early summer in NZ. January and February are a lot sunnier and warmer, especially on the east coast. The farmers will have been very happy. Normally it's a LOT drier, even in December.
Wow wow wow wow it's tremendous. Love from India.
I travelled from Wellington to Auckland in April 2019 and it rained all the way but it was still a superb journey and the service on the train was great.if you get the chance to holiday in NZ don't think about it just go. I have been to Auckland about 6 or 7 times and have every loved minute of my stay usually 2 to 3 months with family
Well shot keep it up...felt as if I was travelling in NZ
wonderful journey thanks
Very beautiful sight seeing.
You can get filters for microphones to prevent wind noise.
