No buffet car available as advertised on broadmeadow to central service.

AI Highlights
  • Promised scones and chocolate bars were not provided; staff packed them away.
  • Only tea was available despite over two hours left on the train.

Booked on this service with my grandchildren.

I was told when I booked there would be scones available, chocolate bars etc but the staff had packed everything away and the only thing available was tea even though there was over two hours left on the train..

Not acceptable to pay extra for a service that wasn't provided.

Preferred solution: I would like the buffet car to be stocked as advertised

NSW TrainLink - Poor customer service train infested with roaches.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Had a return from Syd to BNE. Roach infested.

Mentioned to the staff, was laughed at and felt humiliated. Addressed concern with customer service, with pic evidence of roaches but was given a detailed excuse blaming the coastal environment and other customers for the roaches.

Suffered a week of allergies, they just didn't care and gave pro forma lip service. Least they could have done was offer a part refund or kiosk voucher if I ever travel again.

Cons:
  • Health hazard

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Choose alternative travel if possible.
