Travel Tips – prepare for your trip
Be prepared for warmer weather
The Gulflander railmotor, with over 70 years of history, offers a charming heritage experience. However, the train is not air-conditioned. Each carriage provides open-air windows, but during warmer months, the interior can feel hot and humid.
Come prepared for warmer climate:
- Stay cool - wear lightweight clothing
- Stay hydrated - bring plenty of water with you for the trip
Make the most of your day
- Wear comfortable walking shoes
- Wear sunscreen, bring a hat and sunglasses
- Bring along insect repellent
- Take motion sickness tablets if you are easily affected by travelling in vehicles and onboard trains
- We are cashless. Our railway stations accept credit and debit card payments only.
