Now that the bright new moquette has replaced the well worn and grubby old material, the carriages, for all their age look just great. Most carriages now on that line have large areas of window, power points for every passenger, plenty of tables and excellent 3 stages of lighting. No wifi...or coffee machine...but you can't have everything. Average speed for the whole trip of 100km is 60 km/hr , even reaching the dizzying limit of 91 briefly on the run up towards the tunnel from just south of Featherston. Not a fast trip but very relaxing in comfortable seats and with some beautiful scenery at any time of the year. Thank you 1000x, Gold Card )
