The Northern Explorer is a long-distance passenger train operated by the Great Journeys New Zealand division of KiwiRail between Auckland and Wellington in the North Island of New Zealand, along the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT). Three services operate per week in each direction between Auckland's The Strand Station and Wellington railway station.[1] The Northern Explorer replaced the Overlander from 25 June 2012.

It was suspended in December 2021,[2][3] after suspension in August for COVID-19 lockdown.[4][5] However, it restarted on 25 September 2022.[6]
