In 1945 and 1946 several "bride trains" were run in Australia to transport war brides to or from ships.
These trains included:
- September 1945: A train from Perth to Brisbane, where the women and their children were to embark on a ship bound for the United States. The war brides endured cramped and uncomfortable conditions during the first leg of this trip.[1]
- September 1945: A train travelling directly from Melbourne to Brisbane carrying 230 women and 70 children (including those who had embarked at Perth) bound for the United States.[2]
- September 1945: A special train from Sydney to Brisbane carrying more than 254 women and 85 children bound for the United States.[3]
- October 1945: A train carrying Canadian war brides departed Brisbane for the southern states.[4][5]
- February 1946: A train carrying 495 women and children from Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria to Sydney where they boarded a ship bound for the United States.[6]
- April 1946: A train carrying British war brides from Melbourne to Sydney[7]
- April: A train carrying 41 women and 17 children to Brisbane where they boarded a ship bound for the United States.[8]
