The Overland, Australia

For travellers seeking a comfortable and economical way to travel between Adelaide and Melbourne, The Overland now offers excellent value and a renewed range of service offerings - Red Service and Red Premium Service.

Newly refurbished, The Overland is about letting you enjoy the journey. Its interior colour scheme has been inspired by the colours of the regions through which the train passes. The space allocation and seating design has been created with the vision of offering a superior level of comfort throughout the duration of the journey compared to its direct competitors, the family sedan or interstate road coach. Even when compared to an economy airline seat The Overland is a leader in the game.
