Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia


19th Century Engineering Masterpiece & Renowned Tourist Railway


Trains run daily (except Christmas Day) at 11am, 1pm, 3pm from Clarence Station. Additional trains run on Sundays and some
public holidays. Check the timetable for further details.

The Zig Zag Railway appeals to children and adults alike, especially those who once rode behind steam locomotives on the way to school or on holidays. It is a magical step back in time, filled with sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era. Every trip from Clarence Station winds its way through the remarkable Blue Mountains’ scenery, offering glimpses of grand sandstone viaducts, accompanied by the chuffing steam locomotive. It is a chance to appreciate the difficult terrain that confronted the builders and marvel at how they brought the railway down into the Lithgow Valley and on westward.

It is an experience that makes you stop, wonder and marvel – the perfect opportunity to create new memories.

Wizards Express



Wizards Express
Harry Potter fans, the Wizards Express is three hours of magical fun and laughter. Walk through the wall on Platform 9¾ at Clarence, listen to “The Hat” sort you into your House before boarding the train for the run to Hogsmeade. Enjoy a magic show and some rather gruesome school food before your ride back to Clarence in the dark. Don’t be a muggle, dress as your favourite character and practise your spells before you come. To book online: select Wizards Express on the menu and follow the prompts.
