Smoking Policy
In February 2006, we were instructed by Western Australian Authorities that there is to be no smoking on our trains in their state from the 1st March 2006. Accordingly, we are implementing measures to enforce a total smoking ban on the Indian Pacific whilst it is in Western Australia from the 1st March 2006.
All Great Southern Rail trains will become entirely smoke free from the 1st October 2006. This will comply with most state government legislation requirements.
Smoke Free Southern Cross Station
As of the 1st March 2006, smoking will be prohibited within the Southern Cross Station precinct. This follows the introduction of Victorian Government laws to prohibit smoking in all workplaces and all covered areas of train platforms, tram shelters and bus shelters. The Southern Cross Station Authority has decided to extend the ban further to include outdoor areas of the precinct to remove confusion regarding designated smoking prohibited areas. All boundaries will be clearly marked with no smoking signage.
