New Zealand's TranzCoastal connecting Christchurch, New Zealand with Picton, New Zealand has not operated since February 22, 2011, the day of the Christchurch earthquake. Those who have made the journey know what a pleasant and scenic trip it is. For some reason, TranzScenic has not started the train again and is currently using buses. Positive support from the international railfan community may nudge TranzScenic to get this train operating again. The General Manager may be reached at deborah.hume@kiwirail.co.nz.
