Trains

Europe - Without doubt the quickest way to travel between London and Paris is via the Eurostar high speed train service. Services operate from London Kings’s Cross St Pancras station and arrive into Paris Care Du Nord and take 2 hours 15 minutes….you could be lunching in London and having dinner on the Champs Elysees!

New Zealand - named as one of the world’s most scenic train journeys, the Trans Alpine takes you through mountains and gorges inaccessible by roads between Christchurch and Greymouth on the South Island. Also on the South Island is the Trans Coastal that hugs the east coast between Picton and Christchurch. Finally to the North Island - the newly rejuvenated Overlander exposes the sights between Auckland and Wellington. If you are interested in learning more or would like a quote, enquire now.
