CountryLink is part of the government-owned Rail Corporation New South Wales which also operates CityRail which provides the passenger rail service covering the greater Sydney region. Their trains connect with the largest network of coaches in Australia to service almost every corner of NSW and beyond.

The Country Link service I use often is the bus and train network between Sydney and Manilla. 

There is a train daily between Sydney to Tamworth.  I found it very comfortable and the scenery is fantastic!
