The ''Lynx Express'' was a long-distance passenger train in the South Island of New Zealand that ran the length of the Main North Line between Picton and Christchurch. The service was operated by New Zealand Rail Limited business unit InterCity Rail. ==Operation== In 1994, New Zealand Rail began The Lynx fast ferry service as part of the Interisland Line, with the 74-metre InCat catamaran being leased for that summer from Condor Ferries. It provided a faster alternative to the conventional ferries and . To complement the faster ferry, a passenger train from Picton to Christchurch and return was introduced. Named the ''Lynx Express'', it debuted on Monday, 19 December 1994, and unlike the ''Coastal Pacific'', it ran beyond Picton railway station to and from the ferry terminal. The ''Coastal Pacific Express'', connecting with the conventional ferries, ran from Christchurch to Picton and back. Two cars from the original ''Southerner'', later used on the ''Northerner'', were rebuilt to the same specification as the new ''TranzAlpine'' cars. They seated 50 each in seats designed for the ''Wairarapa Connection'' and ''Northerner''/''Overlander'', alcove-style with tables, had panoramic windows and were air-conditioned. Along with these cars, the consist included the recently refurbished former ''Southerner'', later ''Northerner'' and finally an InterCity spare buffet car with 24 seats and tables arranged alcove-style, and a Daewoo modular former Auckland suburban van turned power and baggage van, with a new 90-kW generator. Despite the improved accommodation on the newer train as opposed to the ''Coastal Pacific'' and its faster timetable, with only two intermediate stops, at Blenheim and Kaikoura, it failed to attract sufficient revenue, and when the ''Condor 10'' returned for the 1995–96 summer the service was not resumed.
