Not just a form of transport, this Coastal Pacific train trip has me reconsidering how we explore our country. For my journey, I rode on the Coastal Pacific train from Christchurch to Picton in the new Scenic Plus class. The Coastal Pacific passes by rugged mountains, remote beaches, idyllic countryside and vineyards. The Scenic Plus experience on the Coastal Pacific is a unique way to see New Zealand without the trouble of driving or finding places to eat.
