Tilt Train announcement

We're purchasing another Tilt Train and upgrading our existing fleet.

For the first time, our Cairns Tilt train fleet will have a sleeper option for our customers. The Railbed sleepers are a comfortable seat by day and transform into a flat bed by night. The first new-look Cairns Tilt Train is coming later this year. Click for more information.
