Catch the TranzAlpine train from Rolleston
You can catch the world-famous TranzAlpine train to Greymouth from Rolleston Railway Station.
Located to the south-west of Christchurch, Rolleston Station is the close to Christchurch Airport. However, we recommend you do not book your train to connect directly with a flight because the TranzAlpine travels through very challenging terrain and weather conditions, which can result in delays.
