Backtracker Rail Pass

Fares below include a discount of up to 23% for pre-purchase of this pass in the UK!

The Backtracker Rail Pass provides a comfortable and economical means to discover New South Wales and beyond. The Pass is valid for unlimited travel backwards and forwards on the XPT and Xplorer trains and connecting Coach services linking the capital cities of Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra and regional New South Wales. Travel on Sydney CityRail services is only allowed in conjunction with a connecting Countrylink service. Travel is not available on Brisbane City Train, Melbourne Met or V-Line services.

Use of the Pass must begin within six months of the date of issue and be completed within the validity period from the first validity date. A travel 'day' is a period of 24 hours, or less, from the scheduled departure time of a service, eg an overnight trip 2100-0900 is regarded as one 'day'.

There are four Sydney CityRail vouchers included with the pass which can be exchanged for tickets:

• any Sydney City Station to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains
• Katoomba to any Sydney City Station
• Sydney CityRail DayTripper ticket
• any Sydney City Station to Bondi Beach day return

Reservations are compulsory and, as many of Countrylink's rail services are heavily patronized year round, arranging reservations as far in advance as practical will ensure maximum benefit from the Pass. Economy seating on Countrylink services can be upgraded to first class seats or sleepers, subject to availability, and the upgraded value will be the amount of the difference in the fare between the economy ordinary fare and the upgraded fare plus any ancillary charges.

Please read the Terms & Conditions and Refund Policy before your purchase.
