Trans Southern Alps Railway

Anyone done this trip, Christchurch to Greymouth and back. The reviews all talk about amazing NZ scenery, but I watched a Youtube video and to be honest, it didn't look that great. I'd be doing the day return, 5 hours each way with an hour in Greymouth. Cost is about £230 but as I'm only in Christchurch for 2 days, I don't want to waste the money and 50% of my time if it's not that good.

If not, any other tours or recommendation for a short stay in Christchurch. Thanks.

I have done Greymouth to Christchurch and found it to be well worth it but, I wouldn't want to do it both ways in one day!

No choice. I either do it in a day or I don't do it at all.

Well the decision was made for me. Went to book it and it was sold out on the only day I could do.
