The price of traveling in Australia (By Train)



Introduced to service in 1982 the XPT, short for "express passenger train", travels between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Dubbo, Grafton and Casino. Its aerodynamic design and trademark "nose" make a distinctive impression as it cruises through the countryside.
The XPT power car features a Paxman VP185 12-cylinder, turbo-charged diesel electric engine boasting 1492 kW or 2000 horsepower. There's a power car at each end of the train, one pulling and the other pushing.
XPTs are serviced and washed at a special centre in Sydenham where necessary maintenance is carried out. Even the windows are blow-dried on the way through. The service centre recycles rinse water as wash water which is then discharged with other run off through a treatment plant before being used again

For the price, if you traveling from sydney to brisbane, it’s take more than 14hrs. The minimum price $110.72 for the economy class. $155.8 for the first class. And it need $243.80 for the sleeper.
