Picnic Train V-Set to Kiama 

Join us for a one-day-only summer getaway aboard our special Picnic Train V-Set to Kiama! Departing Sydney’s Central Station, this rare excursion takes you south along our popular Kiama Picnic Train route aboard a classic 4-car V-Set electric train, complete with air-conditioning and the iconic panoramic windows these trains are loved for.

With most of the V-Set fleet now withdrawn and many cars already scrapped, this trip offers one of the last opportunities to experience a V-Set running to Kiama. Settle back, relax in cool comfort, and enjoy the sweeping coastal and countryside views as we journey toward the seaside.

Upon arrival, you’ll have approximately 3 hours in Kiama—perfect for lunch, sightseeing, and soaking in the summer atmosphere—before re-joining the train for a smooth, scenic return ride.

Don’t miss your chance to farewell a legend of NSW rail travel on this special V-Set adventure! Tickets are extremely limited!
