It can be done in one day David. The distance is approx 320km. Also
there used to be a service that left Bathurst at about 6am and arrived
in Sydney at about 10:30am. The service used to return leaving Sydney
at about 6:25pm.
This service was a 3 car loco hauled set which was unique. The cars
were not air-conditioned but had Diesel sets underneath them for the
heating of the cars.
