That being said, I think Countrylink is releasing a new timetable in October.

All NSW passenger train timetables are changing mid October.

If I'm not at the pointy end of my train, this sounds cool!

If capacity is still around 20-25 you may have a full carriage!

Would be interested but in HBA the first weekend and it looks as though I will be in Perth the following Sat on the tail end of a business trip. May be able to get back to CBR on the Sat night.

A heads up for all you guys and gals.

Thinking of have a 'pub crawl' by train on the 1st or 2nd Saturday in December and as a way to include a flight will start in Sydney and finish in Canberra and be an all day event.

Will keep you posted.

Matt

Sounds like a fantastic idea. I can come any Sunday

As with the previous trip (which I unfortunately could not make) I am interested, but cannot commit right now. If spaces fill up in the meantime with people who *can* commit, then so be it.

Based on the dates shown I reckon I can be there. Would love to book soon.

We should be right with a few extras, as some of you know, there is a stand up bar we can crowd around if some don't mind leaning

It will take a couple of weeks until the times are worked out.

For those considering to go, you should. I went a couple of years ago and it was great fun! The lounge area on the private car is awesome!

A something different trip

The times aren't too much a worry as I don't mind traveling early but are the dates pretty much set in stone?

I'm looking to book for an 0805 arrival into SYD on the 14th and out of CBR sometime on the 15th

Thanks!

I'm planning on this date and I have no plan to change it. (But I don't have control over the govt track network)

Mentioned this to Mrs Vertisol who said something along the lines of.. "so, you'll fly from Canberra to Sydney to catch a train back to Canberra... seriously??"..

To which I responded that she had read the situation well... My sense is she's not interested but I still am.

Mr Cat & I are very keen to attend this event. It sounds like a great day.

Suggest no one gets in after 9.30am, now serfty has made this his time Will base the departure time on how long from gate to train. (We're not running the airport line so will need a suburban trip or taxi once the departure station is confirmed.)

Close to booking, looks like it'll be VA500 down to SYD arriving about 0830 and going back CBR - MEL - OOL with VA as well, just not sure which one!

Anyone else doing VA?
