The Overland - Page 2 of 27 - Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions

The much-loved Overland train has a new lease on life and is now once again making its way between Adelaide and Melbourne. Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions (JBRE) along with support from the Victorian Government have contributed funds to continue to operate the service.

The Overland has been bringing people between Adelaide and Melbourne and the regional towns in between for more than 130 years. It’s a significant part of Australia’s rail history and will now continue to play a part in the future of Australian rail and Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions.

With a daylight service between the two great cities, enjoy a relaxing and unique journey, while savouring the creature comforts and romance of rail.

There is nothing quite like travelling by rail, and The Overland operates a day-long service running between Melbourne and Adelaide in both directions. Onboard, you’ll experience a comfortable journey as you watch the diverse landscapes outside your window, from rugged mallee scrub to fields of green and gold.

With comfortable semi-reclining seats, generous legroom, up to 60kg of luggage, a range of dining options, and dedicated hospitality attendants, whether you choose to travel Red or Red Premium service, you’re choosing an effortless and relaxing way to embark on your interstate adventure.
