The Grafton Express is an Australian passenger train operated by NSW TrainLink between Sydney and Grafton via the North Coast line. In February 1990 the long-standing ''Holiday Coast XPT'' was axed as part of a restructure of CountryLink services.〔"The New Timetable" ''Railway Digest'' March 1990 page 94〕 With the other XPT services struggling to keep up with weekend demand, in June 1990 a service to Grafton was reinstated.〔"North Coast Daylight to start this month" ''Railway Digest'' May 1990 page 168〕 It ran on Fridays only to Grafton and Sundays only to Sydney〔"New train set to run" ''Railway Digest'' June 1990 page 208〕 but during school holidays ran daily. It was formed of locomotive hauled HUB/RUB stock with the headcode NL35/NL36.〔"An Obituary to the Grafton Express" ''Railway Digest'' January 1994 page 34〕 Initially hauled by 86 class electric locomotives south of Broadmeadow, however from March 1992 it was hauled by diesel locomotives throughout usually a 442 class. The locomotive hauled ''Grafton Express'' last ran in November 1993.〔 With the National Party having lost a number of North Coast seats in the 1990 Federal election in a policy reversal it was announced that Xplorer railcars would be purchased to extend the ''Northern Tablelands Express'' with an XPT to be released to operate a daily service to Grafton.〔"New "Explorer" trains for NSW" ''Railway Digest'' July 1990 page 237〕 Thus in November 1993 the ''Grafton XPT'' began, a service that continues today. ==References==
