One of the most iconic rail journeys in the country, (maybe even the world?) - a trip up the Blue Mountains Line is a must! 🚉🌄
But since we're all doing our bit and staying at home, we thought we'd bring this journey to you ❤️
Jump on at Parramatta as we push through to foggy plains of Western Sydney, before we begin our climb up to 1000m above sea level, through the Blue Mountains National Park - ending in the historic town of Katoomba.
Grab some snacks and settle in - this one is a ripper! #SydneyTrains #NSWTrainLink #TransportforNSW #SydneyTrains
