The Daylight
Chris Banger
Chris Banger, author of Southern Aurora, relates the fascinating story of the daylight rail service between Sydney and Melbourne, from its beginnings in the steam-hauled daylight specials of the late 1930s through to todays XPT service. It includes a history of the Riverina Express and its successor the Riverina XPT, a history of the RUB type carriages used on the locomotive hauled daylight service, numerous images of tickets, buffet menus and other items of interest on the daylight services, and a history of the current Griffith daylight rail service.
