Service Alerts

TranzAlpine services are currently only available to book until the 15 October 2021.

However, we are currently uploading a new schedule that will take us into 2022. Unfortunately, whilst we undertake this upload, it will appear that services are available to book beyond 16th October 2021 - which they are not. 

We are very sorry for this confusion, and we hope to have summer bookings open very soon. 

If you are looking to book TranzAlpine services beyond 15 October 2021, then please return to our website in July when booking will definitely be open.

Alternatively, sign up for our newsletter and we'll email you as soon as the new schedule is live. 

CURRENT STATUS: COVID ALERT LEVEL 1

Travelling during COVID-19 Alert Level 1

Our TranzAlpine train is operating normally without any restrictions. 

In line with our commitment to protecting our passengers and crew, we remain on high alert and continue to take extra care to protect against spreading the virus.

Face-coverings are not mandatory on our TranzAlpine train. However, they are recognised globally as one of the best deterrents against the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, we strongly encourage passengers to wear face coverings, especially whilst moving about the train. Keeping hands and surfaces clean and sneezing into your elbow are also highly effective methods of defeating the virus. We ask all passengers to observe these recommendations during their journey. Please help us keep New Zealand safe.

Do not travel if you feel ill, or if you are awaiting test results, or have been requested to self-isolate. 

We look forward to welcoming you aboard soon!
