Rail

New Zealand's rail services are operated by TranzScenic (web site: www.tranzrailtravel.co.nz/tranzScenic/default.html ), whose trains are efficient but infrequent. Auckland Station, located at Beach Road (tel: (0800) 802 802), about one kilometre (0.5 miles) east of the city centre, is not the most salubrious place and has very limited facilities.
Rail services:
There is a daily early morning service to New Zealand's capital, Wellington, on the southern tip of North Island, and an overnight service from Sunday to Friday. The journey takes approximately 11 hours. Other daily services leave for Rotorua, Tauranga and Otorohanga.
