Before booking there are a few important things to know.
Currently our only option is to arrive by car, transfers from NSW Train services are not available. If you are planning to travel by train, please get in contact with Lithgow City Cabs for further information on how they may transfer you to our Clarence Station on the day.
Please make sure to arrive at least 45-minutes prior to your departure from Clarence Station to ensure smooth check-in and boarding
Plan ahead: Our weekends fill up fast – get the calendar out and plan ahead to avoid being disappointed.
Book direct with us: we will not accept transferred tickets. Don’t fall for the scammers – book direct.
Under 3’s: are welcome to travel for free on a parents lap. If you would like a seat for your toddler, please ensure you purchase a child’s ticket for them.
Our trains, platforms and toilets are all accessible for wheelchair users. Please see our friends team when you arrive so that we can make sure our ramps are out ready for you to board and alight the train.
If you cannot make your booked service – get in touch asap. We will do our best to assist in rescheduling your tickets if we have enough notice (subject to ticket availability).
T&C’s: Take a moment to review our ticket Terms and Conditions before you book – it makes it so much easier for us and you if we’re all on the same page!On the day
Here’s our list of handy hints and tips to help your visit with us go smoothly.
⏰ arrive nice and early! Arriving at least 45mins before your trip will give you time to park, visit the café and restrooms, check in and get seats with your family and friends.
🚗 leave plenty of time for travel – the mountains roads can be icy at the best of times and traffic during the holidays can be an extra challenge. If you are late, we often cannot transfer you to another service as they can be fully booked.
🥤pack snacks and drinks for the trip or visit our on-site café before you depart. There are no food or drink facilities once you board the train.
🎟️ check in on arrival and pick up your souvenir ticket before getting on board.
👶🏼 Remember children under 3yrs old are free when sitting on a parents lap. With all services full every day, we appreciate your help to keep seats free for those who have paid for them.
🍑 Seats are for bottoms only. Please do not place your luggage on seats – these have been booked and paid for by other passengers.
❄️ don’t forget the weather can be cooler than you expect. Bring warm clothes just in case.
❌ we cannot accept transferred tickets – if you cannot attend please email us and we can arrange cancellation and credit for you if eligible. Do not purchase tickets from anywhere other than our website.
⚠️ Always stay at least 5m from the tracks (unless at a station) and never cross the tracks unless on a designated crossing. We know you love to photograph our handsome crews but safety is our #1 priority – no photo is worth risking your lives for!
📒 Spotto! We have some great activities available for the kids – like our very own #SpottoBook. Grab one at our Station store on the way in and keep those young and old busy searching for all the sights within!
📷 Have fun!!! Be sure to tag us in your photos so we can relive the weekend with you 😃
