Peak and off peak train times
30% off-peak discount
A 30% off-peak discount on full price Opal fares applies to all train journeys taken:
- On weekends (up to $2.70 cap on Sunday)
- On public holidays
- Before or after the weekday morning and afternoon peaks as below:
- Sydney Trains network area: 7-9am and 4-6.30pm weekdays
- NSW TrainLink network area: 6-8am (network exceptions to these peak times below) and 4-6.30pm weekdays
Your Opal fare, including off-peak, is calculated from the time you tap on. This means off-peak train fares are applied to your Opal card based on the time you tap on at the station at the start of your train trip.
If you’re a customer using an intercity station, there are some exceptions to the peak times that can be viewed below.
