The Southern Aurora was wonderful - I travelled in it 5 times in the 1970s, and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences in my whole life, and I am very sorry it is now gone. You could have a compartment to yourself if you were travelling alone, called a roomette, and to be sure, it was small, but private and comfortable. I have not been on the XPT, but I understand that it has no roomettes, which is a serious turn-off for me. I presume that, if you travel alone, you have to share a double compartment (a twinette) with a stranger, which is not something I would want to do in the least.

Typical Jetstar though there great when they get away and do a perfectly fine job of getting form A to B for a no thrills price but it wouldn't be the first time I've had the dreaded "Engineering Requirements" email at the 11th hour. I got the email around 9pm the night before a morning flight back to Perth from Sydney last year . Lucky I even saw the email before I went to bed . Rather than than just rebooking you on Qantas they offered ridiculous indirect flights only via Melbourne which would take over 18 hours!

One thing I like about some travel is it's an opportunity to switch off from devices, even if for a few hours, and rediscover the joy of travel for its own sake. I'll be doing this adventure later this year.

Definitely not the most modern. The power cars date from 1982, and the sleeping cars from 1992. The design dates from 1975, as they're an Australian version of the British HST trains. They were due to be retired this year, but their replacements are still at least two years away from hitting the rails, so they soldier on. Part of why the journey takes so long is that it's 90km further by train than by road. Also it's quite rough due to poor track in parts. The price charged is the standard for a sleeping berth on the route, regardless of when you book.

It will depend on when the NSW government and CAF (Construccines Auxilar y Ferrocarriles) España sort out their differences. It will be a large-ish fleet to replace the XPT fleet, and the Xplorer and Endeavour regional railcar sets. As well as most of the XPT fleet being over 40 years old, the other types are 30 years old, and near the end of their economic life as well. One difference, track condition depending, is that they will have a maximum speed of 200kmh, much faster than the XPT's 160kmh and 145kmh for the others.

I can't wait for another XPT video and maybe when i go by myself i will get a sleeper car because my mum goes to work every Tuesday or Thursday stating from may :) so i should be able to experience the sleeper car once before they get replaced in like 2026 or something. :( Anyways your review was funny and especially when you were talking about the train being late. I will record a few XPT videos on my other account over the winter holidays which is when i will go to wagga wagga again.

Viktoria, glad to hear you made it (just)! Early this year (2023), I had to make three return trips in rather quick succession between Canberra and Melbourne using the XPT (changing to and from the XPT at Goulburn station), but in my case, they were all daytime trips. Those XPT trains are about forty years old, and it shows in that they lack WiFi and USB charging points. They _can_ sometimes pick up extra speed and make up for lost time during the trip. On one of my trips northward, we arrived at Junee station 18 minutes ahead of schedule. They had to stick to the timetable and couldn't depart Junee ahead of schedule, so they announced that they would let us out onto the platform to stretch our legs for those 18 minutes, but warned us not to leave the station so that we would not risk being left behind! When the XPT arrives at Sydney or Melbourne, there's not much turnaround time before the train has to depart again whether it's for a daytime or overnight run, so a late arrival probably means a late departure because they still have to clean the train in the meantime.

Is your accent German? Would you ever consider doing another train trip video in your native language with subtitles, would love to hear. These trains are over 40 years old and getting replaced next year, they unfortunately are getting rid of sleeper compartments based on the current plans but hopefully they can be resurrected. I think they should just be permanent bunk beds with 4 or even 6 per cabin. And they should make it cheaper by cutting costs for staff and all the added extras: -just let people make their own beds and give them sheets+pillows as they board -make everyone that wants food go to the dining car and get it themselves -push up the prices of flights in any corridor where a sleeper train option is available (Adelaide-Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane-Cairns are all linked by night trains), use the extra money generated by the flight tax to make the train cheaper and upgrade the tracks
