Which station in Christchurch does the Tranz-Alpine train leave from?

Question

We want to stay close to the station any suggestions for motels would also help. Thanks

Answer 1

It goes from Christchurch station. See http://www.seat61.com/TranzAlpine.htm

It is a great trip. We did it last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you go be sure to get to  the outside viewing car early , as we found people went there and then didn't move.

This motel has a courtesy car to the station and sounds reasonable.
