Luggage from Sydney to Canberra

[Scarlett]

I’d consider landing SYD, heading for the cheapest hotel nearby and sleeping, then driving to CBR with a hire car. Would still be cheaper than two $300 airline tix. And safer.

Can anyone pick you up from SYD?

It is a lot easier these days with elevators at central. I think ticket availability is also better via Central

It's the same train. There is no special allocation of seats from one station versus another.

I'm honestly perplexed as to why anybody would consider backtracking to Central for that journey unless either they were a train enthusiast who wanted to ride the entire journey, or had lots of time to waste.

There's frequent express trains from International Airport to Campbelltown every 15 minutes, and literally close to zero walking required for connections to Canberra and the Southern Highlands.

Oh! Roadjet might be the answer - one-way chauffeur transfer, around $400 I think?

As I said, as Central is the originating station, there is generally better availability from there according to my enquiries on previous occasions.

Of course if you can get a ticket from Campbelltown then go there...

I don’t know why the train is the answer, only two trains are options, a midday and a 5Pm departure, both take 4 hours, don’t have wifi etc. The bus is quicker, costs less and has wifi, not to mention leaves from the airport. Yes it’s a coach, but not contiki!

uber to the airport, drive home, all for under $100

Yes not THE answer but one of the options.
Buses more frequent. I've done Greyhound (all the way to Jindabyne) but not Flix
