Travel in Comfort
The two levels of service on The Overland are now known as Red Service and Premium Red Service.  This reflects the fact that the train now operates only as a daytime service, making sleeping accommodation irrelevant.  
Red Service is standard economy and Red Premium Service offers travellers more personal space and more services. 
All guests can move around the train and stretch their legs or visit the licensed Café Carriage to meet fellow travellers and socialise.
