In late 2008 the introduction of an exciting and new level of service aboard The Ghan named Platinum Service.

Platinum Service is a new luxury level of train travel, like no other Australian train accommodation. Platinum Cabins will be approximately twice the size of standard Gold Twin Cabins with each room offering deluxe accommodation including double beds, spacious ensuite and 24 hour room service. They will have all the modern comforts, in a classic style, with a distinctly Australian character.

The Ghan will offer accommodation options that rival the best world-class trains. Platinum Service has been designed to meet the needs of the discerning traveller looking for that next level of comfort that will truly be the ultimate way to travel in style by train through the heart of Australia, from Adelaide to Darwin or vice-versa.
