Are there reliability statistics for overnight trains between Melbourne and Sydney?
score:5
Accepted answer
The official statistics only give the percentage of trains that were no more than 10 minutes late. The Melbourne to Sydney night train is train 622 (second green bar from the left). The on-time performance is pretty bad: only 60% achieved the 10-minute objective.
There doesn't seem to be any official tracking of how late the late trains are. Google finds complaints about delays of an hour and more, but you can't conclude from the anecdotes how common that is.
The conditions of travel guarantee connections (for services run by the same company) only if you allow a one hour buffer, which doesn't speak highly of their expectations for on-time performance.
A large proportion of the line is single-track, and there aren't many sidings, so if any of the (mostly freight) trains is delayed, this can have a significant impact.
Watch out for planned bus replacements and other delays on the date you'll be traveling.
