Most of this information other than Metro Tasmania Hobart & Launceston and O'Driscoll timetables, is out of date, not having been updated since December 2004.

The following is a list of current timetables for rail, bus, ferry and air services. Like timetables this list is subject to changes and additions, alterations and/or corrections are welcomed. Contact Steven Haby via email at sghaby@hotmail.com  or Lourie Smit at lsmit@ozemail.com.au.   

RAIL TIMETABLES
There has been no regularly scheduled passenger services operating in Tasmania since 1976 apart from those operated by the various tourist lines and tours operated by ARHS Tasmanian Division. During 2002 the City of Burnie instigated a commuter service to run weekly between Burnie, Wynyard, Devonport and Wiltshire Junction using a pair of DP class railcars purchased from Classic Rail Tours. The status of this service is currently unknown.
