Great Southern Rail

Offering Australia’s greatest long distance train journeys and holidays with all the romance of the great rail journeys of the world, Great Southern Rail (GSR) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Serco Asia Pacific.

We operate three trains:

• The Indian Pacific – Sydney, Adelaide and Perth
• The Overland – Adelaide and Melbourne
• The Ghan – Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin

Our Mission is to provide great experiences, exceptional service and shared adventures on journeys through a rich diversity of Australian landscapes inspiring a passion for travel by train. For many of our guests, their travel with us is the journey of a lifetime. We aim to fulfil their dreams and leave them with lasting impressions.

At Great Southern Rail, we continually strive to improve our guest’s experience through the services we offer.

In 2007, we relaunched a fully refurbished Overland service between Adelaide and Melbourne. In September 2008 we introduced a new luxury Platinum Service on The Ghan, with spacious cabins furnished with all of the modern comforts, in a classic style that is absolutely world-class.
