In the age of technology, booking your own travel has never been easier.
*Please note, information accurate at April 2017 and may be subject to change.
Your credit card has become your gateway to the world and your own backyard as travel providers continually upgrade payment solutions that make old-fashioned paper tickets seem very, well, old-fashioned.
When it comes to booking rail journeys – in NSW at least – you have no less than five easy options to pay your fare. (And of course, booking early means you won’t miss out, especially during busy holiday periods).
OPTION 1: Book and Pay online
The quickest, most efficient and simplest way to get going on your next trip is to book and pay online at nswtrainlink.info.
This video walks you through how to do it, step by step.
If you are slightly nervous about submitting your credit card details over the internet, you can rest assured NSW TrainLink uses the very latest encryption technology to keep your information safe.

OPTION 2: Book and Pay by Phone
If you’re not comfortable using a computer or would like to confirm a detail or two, you can of course pick up the phone to book and pay for a ticket.
Call NSW TrainLink on 13 22 32 and have your credit card handy to complete your booking.
OPTION 3: Book Online and Pay Onboard
Finally, if there’s no other option that works for you, you can actually pay for your fare on board the train (or coach) if absolutely necessary.
Using this option, you would book your seat online but it should be noted that there are some restrictions on what concessions can be booked – and you would need to book within three days of travel – if you opt to leave payment until your trip is actually underway.
For all enquiries about travel on NSW regional services, visit NSW TrainLink or call 13 22 32.
