Check in before boarding

A quick check-in makes an easy and enjoyable start to the journey. So please read through our Check-in & Luggage information.

Most importantly, pack a small bag with everything you'll need for the day. This is because all wheeled cabin bags, large bags, backpacks and suitcases will be checked into our Luggage Carriage

You'll find each of our stations presents a slightly different Check-in experience, so please familiarise yourself with the details for your departure station prior to arrival.

Pack a bag for the journey

We highly recommend packing a small bag or handbag filled with essentials to take aboard the train for the journey.

Things to consider packing include:

  • Wallet/purse (for the Scenic Café)
  • A jacket  (for the viewing carriage)
  • Mobile phone
  • Camera
  • Sunglasses
  • Medication / inhaler
  • Reusable water bottle / coffee cup 
  • Wired headphones (for the audio commentary)
