Bilhete de Trem da Ferrovia do Desfiladeiro de Taieri

The meeting point was stated as the station, but it didn't specify what to do at the station. I went to the ticket center and showed the QR code from my reservation, but in the end, they didn't scan the code; instead, they noted down the reservation number and manually issued the ticket for my assigned seat. The seats are four-person arrangements where two people face each other, but since it was empty that day, I was able to have a four-person seat all to myself. The scenery visible from the left and right sides, across the aisle, differs depending on the direction of travel. Of course, you have two chances, going and returning, but I recommend going on a less crowded day. The windows are small and designed so you can't lean out, so taking photos through the dirty windows is difficult due to light reflections and other factors. There's a break time where you can get off the train at HINDON station and the turnaround station, Pukerangi, allowing you to take photos leisurely there. Inside the train, I recommend enjoying the magnificent scenery with your own eyes rather than through a camera. My English isn't very good, and I only understood about 20-30% of the male guide's announcements on the train, but even so, I felt the timing of the guide was slightly off. I don't think the highlights change, so I believe it would be good to have brochures or guides available for foreigners. Especially since there were many Chinese visitors and a deep historical connection seemed apparent, English and Chinese alone would be good, and if possible, Japanese would also be appreciated. The weather was good, and the scenery was superb. Coffee and light snacks were also sold on the train, and it was worth spending five hours away from the city, gently swaying on the train. The small sports museum inside the station, which costs 6 dollars to enter, was also very impressive and recommended.

The Gorge train journey was beautiful, stunning scenery with a real sense of nature and history throughout the trip.

A wonderful experience looking at the scenic view onboard a train with so much heritage and history.

Fantastisk tur, vi nød hvert øjeblik. Udsigten er spektakulær gennem bjerglandskabet, markederne drevet af de lokale var en velkommen fornøjelse for at købe gaver, og kaffen og snacksene på toget var en behagelig og fornøjelig overraskelse.

Was a great day dispiite the wind , great scenery with good commentary, lots to see, train wasn't full , so plenty of time to move around

It's just average, not very interesting, and the scenery is quite ordinary.
