NightRide buses
NightRide buses replace train services from midnight to Sydney suburban areas. Our suburban timetables contain timetables for specific NightRide routes. Valid Return, Off-Peak Return, Pensioner Excursion, 7 Day RailPass, FlexiPass or TravelPass tickets can be used. If you do not have a valid ticket, you should pay when boarding the bus. Single rail tickets cannot be used.
