Hi Elaine.
I just now did a check of the prices and a one way, economy class seniors/pensioner ticket. Sydney to Broken Hill was $69.17. A return ticket would be double that price being $138.34. First class one way would cost you $96.26 one way or $192.52 for a return ticket.

Prices change so you’d be best to check the prices at the NSW Trainlink website at https://transportnsw.info/regional-bookings/ or calling on 13 22 32.

Also don’t forget that if you receive a pension or even a part pension you get 4 free economy class trips a year. You’ll pay a little extra to travel First class. Just call them on 13 22 32 and tell them you;re a pensioner – have your pension card with you for details. The people at NSW Trainlink are helpful, friendly and quick to answer the phone.

Enjoy the adventure.

I would suggest that people travel on their OPAL cards from Sydney to Bathurst of a Sunday, then the train from Bathurst to Broken Hill on the Monday, by train, using the $2.50 ticket. There is a coach [ BUS] from Broken Hill DAILY to Dubbo via Cobar, connecting with the XPT to Bathurst. the next morning there is a train quite early, at 5.50am approx, or better still a bus at 8.09am, to Lithgow, connecting with a train to Sydney. The Victoria Hotel is over the street from the Bathurst railway station.
