The Indian Pacific | Luxury coast to coast rail journey

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Dad left his home town and ended up in Peterborough looking for work in 58 . He got a job in the Railway Roundhouse. He shortly after met Mum who was a Nurse in Training at the P'borough Hospital , when he was admitted for a bad fall. Mum's Family are Railway Family . They all left around 1962. They can remember it being so cold it was snowing , but they remember it being Boiling Hot Climate

We did this journey about ten years ago - -in Platinum class. Perth to Adelaide. Couldn't afford it now! Stopped at Calgourley and Cook It was a wonderful experience. Hopefully we will be able to do it once more! BRYAN and PAULINE BURDETT

Sounds wonderful. Would love to try Platinum one day but as you say, it’s very expensive.

I have watched several Indian Pacific videos recently, so much of it I've already seen before. But I really appreciate the extra effort you went to to include all the other little details that fill in the gaps.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

I’m really glad to hear that. I add a lot of details during editing as I find out more information and come across interesting tidbits. 🤔

[@enischial965]

Thank you so much for having us along with you. I was beyond excited to hear that you were doing the Indian Pacific. Glad you made the most of it even with the itinerary hiccups. Keep up the great work, and as always looking forward to your next video. Love from the U.S.

A freight train carrying food to Perth runs along the railway line that you took from Sydney via Adelaide to Perth. A freight train transporting food consists of the following parts: at the beginning there are two diesel electric locomotives, behind which there is first a freight car that has two smaller container tanks with fuel for the locomotives, the next car is a passenger car in which one controller sits, behind the passenger car there are several freight cars which transport two container refrigerators standing on top of each other and finally there are refrigerator wagons.

This train journey in platinum service is at the top of my bucket list. Nothing like this exists in the U.S. We had 1 ocean to ocean line here that ran from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but it was destroyed by a hurricane, and isn’t likely to be replaced anytime soon.

How did it go?

[@Xantaxia]

@@PaulaBean Sorry for the delay in responding. It was as excellent as this video showed. The staff were very friendly and professional, the off train excursions were very interesting but due to the time constraints of track usage a couple of them were not available, this was conveyed at the time of booking so there weren't any surprises in that regard and from 2025 onwards the journey will be over 5 days instead of four so that should hopefully solve this. The food was phenomenal, truly some of the best I've ever tasted. Even the light snacks they provide before boarding are great. All in all it was well worth the price.

That’s an interesting dilemma - the ability to properly sleep on an overnight train. I’ve never been on an overnighter, increasingly throughout Europe many more such services are being re-opened. As a chronic insomniac, I question how well rested did you feel after this trip? Or any other overnight train?

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

@@Hongaars1969 Sleeping can be a struggle. I’m a light sleeper too. However, the more nights you’re aboard, the easier it gets. And I generally find I can cope the next day after one night’s poor sleep (as long as it’s just one). 🤔

Enjoyed your video Adam. Brought back fond memories of my trip on the Indian in 2017 and I'm tempted to do it again at the end of my Ashes tour in January 2026, but I''d feel well robbed if I didn't get the off train experiences. The dinner at Rawlinna under the stars was a highlight and my travelling companions still talk about it. I think the Gold single with shared bathroom facilities actually looks better than the compact en-suite in a Gold where it's possible to sit on the loo and shave and shower! Apart from sleeping I didn't spend anytime in my cabin so more space in the washrooms is appealing.

The number of Platinum carriages has been reduced from 4 to 2, as the demand has dropped on account of the exorbitant prices. Likewise, the length of the IP has been reduced from 29 to 26 carriages. Great train staff, with top-notch service when Lynley Lott and Deb Munn are the Service Operation Managers.

Thanks for sharing this excellent video. I remember when the first Indian Pacific trains started running. There was a three year booking period back then. Also, the original train route did not include Adelaide and the train would just pass through Port Augusta SA and on to Perth. I think detouring the journey to Adelaide is a great improvement. It not only gives onboard train passengers a time to rest, but it also makes it easier for Adelaide passengers to join the journey.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you! Agreed. Because the train is no longer primarily about getting from A to B, it’s about the journey and experience, the Adelaide stop is a good thing. 😊

i have never been on the Indian Pacific, but in 2013, I did manage to travel a return trip between Melbourne and Adelaide on the Overland.

As an indian i can confirm that the word "INDIAN PACIFIC" is perfectly working 😂
