Scenery great, service great, food, no.
Te Huia Train的点评
点评:The trip was pleasant with on board toilets, great scenery and other friendly travellers.
We travelled at 9am from Frankton to The Strand and again at 5:30 from The Strand to Frankton. I want to say that I was very impressed with the gentleman on the return trip who took payment and provided paper tickets, he did the safety briefing and even took food to the tables. What a pleasure to witness such thorough and attentive service.
The let down was the food. I'm allergic to wheat and peanuts and also sometimes like to be low carb. A little pottle of fresh and fruity yoghurt or some crisps or chocolate was available on the first train, on the second there was also a gluten free cookie. These options would have been fine for a light snack but not a meal. Please add a bag of lightly salted cashews or a fruit salad which ticks all boxes. Also the pie my partner ordered was microwaved and averages at best.
Don't let this put you off the trip, just take snacks.
翻译:这次旅行很愉快,车上有洗手间,沿途风景优美,遇到的旅客也很友好。
我们早上9点从弗兰克顿 (Frankton) 乘车前往斯特兰德 (The Strand),下午5点半又从斯特兰德返回弗兰克顿。回程时,一位先生给我留下了深刻的印象,他负责收款、发放纸质车票、进行安全讲解,甚至还把食物送到餐桌上。如此周到细致的服务真是令人愉悦。
令人失望的是车上的食物。我对小麦和花生过敏,而且有时也想少吃碳水化合物。第一趟车上只有一小罐新鲜水果酸奶、一些薯片或巧克力,第二趟车上只有一块无麸质饼干。这些食物作为小吃还可以,但作为正餐就不够了。建议增加一袋淡盐腰果或一份水果沙拉,这样就完美了。另外,我同伴点的馅饼是微波炉加热的,味道最多只能算一般。
不过,别因此放弃这次旅行,带些零食就好。
