Just remember to have your credit or debit card and your Seniors or Pensioner cards ready. The timetable is at:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.ptv.vic.gov.au\/route\/timetable\/1706\/albury-melbourne-via-seymour<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll arrive at Albury at 11.00 am. Here you’ll have a 49-minute wait in Albury before boarding the 11:49 am Melbourne to Sydney XPT. The ticket you’ll need is a Country Pensioner Excursion (CPE) ticket from Albury to Goulburn. The cost of this ticket is $2.50. You’ll need to purchase the ticket either online at https:\/\/transportnsw.info\/regional-bookings\/<\/a> or call on 13 22 32. Avoid trying to buy this ticket at the booking center at Albury station. You may only be able to purchase it online.<\/p>\n

The timetable for Albury to Goulburn leg of the trip is at: https:\/\/transportnsw.info\/regional-southern-line<\/a><\/p>\n

All going well, you should arrive in Goulburn at 17:14. Here you’ll have a two hour and forty minute wait as the Opal service train to Sydney does not depart until 19:54. It’s not that bad as there are plenty of eateries uptown to enjoy a leisurely dinner. Once you arrive back at Goulburn station for the 19:54 departure to Sydney, don’t forget to tap on using your Seniors Opal card. The trip to Sydney will cost you $2.50.<\/p>\n

The timetable for the Goulburn to Sydney leg is available at: https:\/\/transportnsw.info\/documents\/timetables\/93-SHL-Southern-Highlands-Line-20220604.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

If you live in Victoria and don’t yet have your Seniors Opal card you need to apply online or over the phone, BEFORE you leave home. Full details at https:\/\/www.cardhacks.com.au\/2018\/10\/09\/seniors-travel-visiting-sydney-dont-leave-home-without-your-senior-pensioner-opal-card\/<\/a><\/p>\n
