Getting There By Rail New Zealand’s rail services are operated by Tranz Scenic (tel: (0800) 802 802; website: www.tranzrailtravel.co.nz/tranzscenic/default.asp). Trains are efficient, reasonably priced but rare, operating more as a tourist service than a business or commuter network. Auckland Station is currently located on Beach Road. However, by the end of 2003, the station will be in the Britomart, a purpose designed, combined train and local bus station incorporating the old post office building on QEII Square, at the harbour end of Queen Street. Rail services: There is a daily early morning service to New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, on the southern tip of North Island, as well as an overnight service from Sunday to Friday. The journey takes approximately 11 hours. Other daily services leave for Rotorua and Tauranga. Transport to the city: Auckland Station is located approximately one kilometre (half a mile) east of the city centre. The station is located on public bus routes and taxis are also available. |
