NSW TrainLink Regional Southern line

The NSW TrainLink Regional Southern Line runs from Central to Melbourne, Griffith and Canberra. It also has connecting coach services that run to Mildura, Condoblin and Eden.

Service
There are 4 Canberra Xplorer and 2 Melbourne XPT services each way per day. On Wednesday and Saturday, one of the Canberra Xplorers run with two centre driver cars (ie. two sets coupled together). The front half of the train detaches at Goulburn and continues to Griffith, with the back half continuing to Canberra. The set going to Griffith returns the following day (Thursday/Sunday) and couples with a train from Canberra at Goulburn.

First and economy class seating is available on all services on this line, with sleeper berths available on the Melbourne XPT service.

Route
Services start from Central (intercity platforms 1-12). They then use the same route as Southern Highlands line trains to reach Goulburn.

South of Goulburn, Canberra trains turn onto the Bombala branch line at Joppa Junction, then turning again at Queanbeyan to join the Canberra branch line.

Trains toward Melbourne and Griffith continue down the Main South line at Joppa Junction. At Junee, Griffith trains turn onto the Hay branch line before again turning onto Yanco - Griffith line at Yanco to reach the terminus of Griffith. Melbourne trains continue down the Main South line to reach Melbourne (Southern Cross) station.
