Service
The Xplorers currently operate on these services out of Sydney:
- Armidale and Moree: Daily service runs along the Main North line to Werris Creek where the train divides. One portion proceeds to Armidale and the other to Moree. The Armidale portion normally consists of three carriages and the Moree portion two. During times of high demand these can be built up to four and three respectively.
- Canberra: 2-3 services each way per day. Normally operated by a three carriage set but during times of high demand these can be built up to four.
- Griffith: Service is attached to a Canberra Xplorer service until Goulburn on Saturdays only, and operates to Griffith via the Main South, Hay and Yanco-Griffith lines. Service returns on Sundays joining an Xplorer from Canberra at Goulburn although on occasions when either train runs late, each will run separately to Sydney. Normally operated by two carriages.
- Broken Hill: Service runs along Main Western and Broken Hill lines to Broken Hill. Outbound service operates Monday, returning Tuesday. Normally operated by three carriages.
