The regular service by train from Sydney to Canberra is by the NSW TrainLink Explorer service. The standard full price one way fare for adults is $52.00<\/span>. The one way fare for Seniors<\/span> card holders is $26.00<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve used this service on numerous occasions and have found the comfort and service aboard the train to be very good. Even the hot meals served from the buffet have been imaginative and prepared with some love. Furthermore, the meals are less than $10.00<\/span>. A glass of wine is $7.50<\/span>. Light beer is $6.50<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But there is a cheaper way for Seniors Card holders. Here’s how; Sydney to Canberra for just $5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before leaving home call NSW TrainLink on 13 22 32 and make a booking using your Seniors card on the Goulburn to Canberra service that departs Goulburn at 20.29 (M-F). Your Goulburn to Canberra ticket will cost $2.50. Click here for the full NSW TrainLink Sydney to Canberra timetable<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s a NSW TrainLink booking office at Central station, but don’t think you can walk in there and buy a ticket from Goulburn to Canberra for $2.50 – you can’t. You’ll be told that these tickets can only be bought online or over the phone. They’ll then offer you the half price tickets. Even a “know it all” like me got caught here. When I was offered the half price fare, I declined. I then went out of the office and called 13 22 32 on my mobile phone and made the booking on the same train for $2.50. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n
