CityRail information
CityRail is the passenger rail service covering the greater Sydney region and is the sister company to CountryLink (which is the passenger rail service covering country and long distance services within NSW).
CityRail and CountryLink are two independent services operating under Rail Corporation New South Wales (RailCorp). RailCorp is the government agency responsible for all passenger rail services in NSW.
CityRail is not responsible for freight, since 2002 all rail freight operators in NSW are privately owned. Additionally RailCorp (not CityRail) is responsible for the development and maintenance of the railway infrastructure (such as tracks, overhead wiring and the like).
Our network covers suburban Sydney and extends to the Hunter, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and South Coast regions.
Our services begin around 4.00am - 5.00am in the morning and run till around midnight (later at some stations). After midnight, NightRide bus services operate in the Sydney suburban area.
Were continuing to improve the facilities at our stations to assist customers with special needs. At specific CityRail stations we provide enhanced facilities such as lifts or ramps, continuous hand rails, hearing loops at ticket windows, wheelchair accessible toilets and platform to train ramps for wheelchairs.
CityRails ticket prices are based on the distance you travel and represent extremely good value. You can choose from a wide selection, depending on your needs, whether youre a commuter or leisure traveller.
If youre visiting Sydney...
Sydneysiders enjoy it every day, visitors make the most it while they can. Its the experience of being in a vibrant city, Australias premier city, a city known around the world for its beaches, its harbour, its Opera House, its Harbour Bridge and much more.
Because there are so many things to see and do, so many places to visit in and beyond Sydney, CityRail has a range of ticket options to suit different needs.
