Train Day Trips

Get your friends or family and enjoy train tours, a steam train ride or just a train day out, Ha! That was supposed to be funny, hmm? Look around and you’ll even find tour packages.

The constant rhythm and rocking while traveling down the rails lines has become a lot more comfortable in later years than when we were children riding the old red rattlers (as they were called back in the sixties.)

If you want to travel by rail Sydney train services are available by phoning the Transport Info Line 131500 or by checking train timetables at Transport Info

Taking train trips north or south makes for ideal Sydney getaways when a bit of relaxing is what you’re after. It’s also rewarding to be enjoying scenic travel without the worry of road rage, staying awake or worrying about fines. The train lines run north through Newcastle and Coffs Harbour to Byron Bay and Queensland, south to Kiama and Nowra (Bomaderry) and inland across the state to Adelaide and southwest to Melbourne so get on board and take a train day trip somewhere soon.
