AUSTRALIA'S RAIL SERVICES

Australia's passenger railway system offers tourists and residents a modern, safe and convenient form of travel. There are many passenger train and tram operators in Australia offering services ranging from intensive suburban trains and electric tramways in major cities, to commuter trains and long distance interstate and luxury trans-continental journeys. The trains are high quality and all operators have reasonable on-line information about their services, but information is not co-ordinated. This site is a reference hub for anyone planning a rail or bus trip in Australia - whether from one suburb to another or a trans-continental odyssey you will find the information here. We link to official web-sites of train and bus operators and help you book travel and accommodation online.
