Canberra · Getting to Canberra

Should I take a coach or train from Sydney to Canberra?

I will travel without a car and want to compare arrival points, journey times and how easy it is to reach a Canberra hotel. How should I choose a current service?

    Check the final transfer as well as the intercity fare. Canberra's railway station is at Kingston, while city-bound coaches may stop closer to a central hotel; map the last leg before booking.

    Compare the exact travel date in the coach operator's timetable and NSW TrainLink's regional booking system. The number and timing of departures in an old forum reply can change, so select a service that gives you a useful arrival time.
