My Speech



I’m going to introduce railways in New Zealand. On the North Island, The Overlander operates between Oakland and Wellington. In the south Island, The TranzCoastal operates between Picton and Christchurch; The TranzAlpine operates between Christchurch and Greymouth, and Taieri Gorge Railway operates between Dunedin and Middlemarch. The most popular transportation is using bus, so each line has only one service in a day. The TranzAlpine is running from the east coast, crossing mountains of the Southern Alps to the west coast. The views from the window are so beautiful that it rated one of the world’s great scenic railway journeys. You can hear the announcement when the train is passing through the popular spots and historical places. Tairei Gorge Railway makes several stops at one beautiful spots, so you can take photos outside the train and walk bridge.

When Japanese people take a long distance train, they often buy “Ekibenn” and bring it to the train. But, in New Zealand, you can’t take food and drink. In the train, there is at seat service provide juices and snacks. And alcohols like beer or wine are sold in the train.
