The Riverina Express was a passenger train operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between Sydney, Griffith and Albury from September 1949 until November 1993.

The Riverina Express was introduced in September 1949 and operated during daylight hours travelling along the Main South line to both Griffith and Albury at various stages during its life.

In February 1972 the RUB sets were replaced by ten 1200 class Tulloch diesel railcars.

These were designed to split en route allowing carriages to detach for Cowra, Tumut, Lake Cargelligo and Hillston on selected days.

The 1200s suffered from regular equipment failures, particularly with their complex electrical systems and they were replaced by locomotive hauled sets from January 1973.
