The service ran overnight from Sydney via the Main North line to Werris Creek where the train divided. One portion continued to Moree while the other continued until Armidale. This latter service continued to Glen Innes and Tenterfield on certain nights. From January 1960, the Sydney to Gosford portion of the trip was hauled by 46 class electric locomotives and from June 1984 this was extended to Broadmeadow following electrification. The Northern Mail ceased operating in November 1988.[1][2][3] References1. ^"Requiem for a Mail" Railway Digest January 1989 page 14 2. ^"Last Passengers" Railway Digest January 1989 page 20 3. ^"Melbourne-Sydney Standard Gauge Relief Trains" Australian Railway History April 2012 5 : Named passenger trains of New South Wales|Night trains of Australia|Passenger rail transport in New South Wales|Railway services discontinued in 1988|1988 disestablishments in Australia |
