Mainly Passenger rail (esp. Rolling Stock. We've got only a couple of
classes up here in Brisbane whereas Sydney is much better endowed...
probably not the best word to use though!)

WIll definitely make a trip up to Maitland.

I'm getting the Daylight XPT down and have a seat in one of the
compartments. I'm travelling alone so I guess I'll have two strangers
next to me. When I get to Sydney I have to change to a North Sydney
train. From a safety side is it better to get off at Hornsby and get a
suburban train to Nth Sydney or change at Syd. Terminal for a quick
trip over the Harbour Bridge?

Thanks very much for the very quick replies everyone!

Cheers,
Michael
