Great video Tim but just a few questions to ask. Why was the train going so slow most of the way through kaikoura there's a video of it speeding through in 2018 not long after it was rebuilt surely a year later they didnt have to rebuild more track at the time you filmed it. Also are you scared of tunnels cause you hardly shot any video going through the tunnel thats also one of the best parts and you cut away most of the time just as the train enters the tunnel. Also if possible next time you go on this train is it possible to place a mic somwhere safe but near the wheels to get the click clack sound that is by far the best part of the train is that awesome noise love it.

Hi Tim, I'm looking at this video on my computer monitor but I'm going to put it on my big screen. Looks like a nice scenic trip. I wanted to ask you a questions. Many of your videos are more than an hour long. I'm wondering how you manage battery life. I don't see breaks anywhere which would indicate you have stopped to change batteries or charge them. Also what software do you use to use to edit. I have an Apple iMac so I use the iMovie app which has most of what I need.

Fabulous! What a phenomenal effort to reinstate the railway and main highway. What a fab way to soak in New Zealand's magnificent scenery - almost no need to hike, lol! Most complex earthquake ever the way it ripped through known, and unknown faults, and moved parts of the South Island 5m closer to the North Island - WOW! Nicely filmed, thanks Tim. Ciao.

Nice vid, beautiful day. We were in Kaikoura in early Mar 2019 - snowed the night before on the coastal mountains - but hot down by the bay/port - shorts and sunglasses. Gorgeous drive even with some significant construction delays. Nobody works too hard in NZ - seemed like either smoko time, lunch or in some sort of discussion about the next break.

I enjoyed this trip along the coast like I am right there on the trip in New Zealand. I have ridden the Coast Starlite and Surfliner trains in California, USA and those are enjoyable trips as well along the Pacific when they go along the coast. From St. Louis

How are people still leaning out of the carriage? KiwiRail are supposed to have modified the railings on the observation cars to prevent that. (Health and Safety and all) edit; I see it was filmed in February, before the cars were modified.

The DXR 8007 locomotive is very special being one of two of that type in New Zealand. It was originally a Queensland Rail loco KiwiRail brought in to trial I think, but you-re very lucky to see it and great video as always!
