Australia's newest luxury train | The Great Southern | Adelaide to Brisbane

[@andrewhealeymusic]

Hi Adam! Andy here (I was the onboard musician for this trip 😉) and just wanted to say of the many features/reviews I've seen of Journey Beyond trains over the years, yours is by far the most comprehensive and informative, not to mention the best narrated. Very impressed with your professional yet friendly finish on this video! I've since hung up my train guitar after 7 years on the rails, but it's great to be able to relive this awesome trip through such a great watch! Thanks for the features here and I look forward to seeing more of your travels!

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Hi Andy. Wow - that’s incredible to hear. ☺️Thank you so much! 🙏 It’s always rewarding to get this kind of feedback. I’m planning on travelling on the Great Southern again but taking the southbound journey, so that should be fun. Thanks for providing great onboard entertainment! 👌 Hope you’re well. Cheers!

[@petrofilmeurope]

One of the very few travel videos that I have bothered to see through to the end. A very pleasant narration held in a moderate speed so that one can actually understand what is being said. Pleasant camera movement and edit. Thank you Adam, from Oslo.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

That’s wonderful to hear! Thank you for your kind words.

[@DIGGERPRODUCTIONS]

I have just recently started watching your videos and let me say this the best train travelling youtube channel

[@consciousbeing1188]

How a country as big as Australia still doesn't have a high-speed passenger train service in 2022 is a sad indictment on how neglected our rail services are and have been for a long time.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Yes, unfortunately Australians prefer to drive or fly. 😞

[@carmen47freixas96]

I agree, I was born in Barcelona, have been in OZ for 63 years, now I am 76 I have been back many times and have used the fast train in Spain called the A.V.E ALTA VELOCIDAD ESPANA. HIGH VELOCITY SPAIN. I love it have done since it started The first AVE service was inaugurated in 1992, when I came to OZ in 1961, I was 14, I was used to ride the Metro as well in Barcelona, which is over 100 years old. I have always thought, why not OZ Never mind, I have enjoyed those services, I know how good it is.

[@Harldin]

Economics, the cost per km and time it takes compared to flying is just too great for anything but holiday trips. I'm going from Brisbane to Townsville for Xmas this year, $571 return, 2hr flights. No train service irrespective of speed is going to be remotely competitive.

[@theaussiewhinger]

​@@HarldinExactly. It is precisely because of our country's size that the economics don't add up. Between some east coast cities I think it could work, but certainly not for transcontinental routes.

[@albertorosso81]

Keep asking myself same question since I have moved here..

[@jackybeck2479]

I have enjoyed watching these types of videos by you. You give out a lot of useful information about these planes and trains, and you sound like a very kind and happy person as well!

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

That’s great to hear - thank you!

[@HugoBrown]

Really nice trip on the great southern , the food looked delicious I especially loved that Pork & Wagyu hehe. The single cabin look nice and cosy, The trains just look so old and need bit of TLC including the outside, you want travellers to at least feel the train experience will be luxurious from the moment you get on. I know comparing tourist trains between Australia and Japan/China is like apples and oranges but its so hard not to when you've experienced it. and the end arrival at freight terminal is bit ghetto but understand as you explained and thats the wonderful think about your video's the commentary and we learn alittle more. Can't wait to watch the next video

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you! Yes, fair points. They are renovating some of the carriages but unfortunately they seem to offer these as a slightly higher class (so with a higher fare).

[@Bobrogers99]

This trip is a great way to see a variety of Australian scenery in comfort. You covered the highlights well, and I was surprised that I watched all 35 minutes of the video! I especially appreciate that you showed us the food offerings.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you so much - lovely to hear.

[@michaelformaini7053]

Stumbled on your presentation of the "Great Southern" quite by chance. WOW! As a former rail worker, I am familiar with much of the route taken by this service. You have excelled in your description of the laid back atmosphere this journey embraces and I love that you showed the menus for all meals, the on train brochures, the off train tours you experienced and the meal time atmosphere (including glances at each of the menu options). I'm glad you featured the Cougal Spiral as you missed the other one at Bethungra (but maybe you were indisposed for that one - and Cougal is a lot more scenic). I intend to publicise this presentation with my circle of friends and also several overseas contacts. Very well done! And if I win Tattslotto in the near future, this itinerary may well be on my bucket list.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Hi Michael. It's so good to get that feedback, particularly from a former rail worker. Thank you! I did see the Bethungra Spiral but that was during breakfast so I wasn't really able to get any good footage of it. Hope you get to go on this train ... you'll definitely enjoy it! :)

[@richardc8738]

I was so pleased to see that you had posted another video, Adam, and you don’t disappoint. Excellent camera work, editing and script. You provide a great experience for those of us who look forward to again visiting wonderful Australia. Thank you from Canada.

[@OldFliersGroup]

Looking forward to our trip in Dec. 2023, platinum class. Rewarding ourselves for a life of hard work.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

That should be amazing! Haven’t tried platinum.

[@ThalassTKynn]

This looks like a great way to travel! Though I wish there were more frequent, faster, interstate trains as well. Just for getting between places.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Yes, it would be great if Australia had a frequent, high speed interstate rail service.

[@jimjardine4705]

we need high speed electric trains like they have overseas!!!

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Never going to happen when there are planes. High speed rail in Australia will NEVER happen. It would just cost way too much.

[@jigsterify]

Every politician for who knows how long has always promised a very fast train network every election, and after ever election you never hear of it again. Reason: we simply do not have the population to economically justify the expenditure for a very fast rail network. If you need to get to other states we have very good domestic airlines and not bad prices, so you use that

[@blackletter2591]

Agree. Australia seems to have given up on intercity train travel as a service rather than a tourist destination (overpriced). I went on the IP and a lot of the good scenery was passed at night.

[@frederickbesterwitch4649]

Excellent , have to go for a trip, what’s more intriguing is the Journey Manager, Mario Gleeson, is my childhood mate, have not seen him for over 30 years 😂🙏

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Wow - what a small world! Thanks for watching!

[@PistachioDean]

It is a bit of a shame that it doesn't stop at Roma St. Ideally would love to see them do up the old station building with a cafe for refreshments as you're embarking. It would be a great way to showcase the train itself imo. But definitely considering this journey, thanks!!

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Yes, that would be great. Boarding / alighting in a freight yard and then being transferred by coach, isn’t the best.

Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Orlando, FL.

[@glucid4222]

I loved your video. I've just added this great journey to my bucket list. Our country is so beautiful that it's always been lost on me why so many Australians waste their time holidaying in places like Bali when I know it would take me three life-times just to see all the beautiful places we have right here in Australia. A train trip like this is only a tantalizing glimpse of the rewards reserved for those who take the time to know their own country first.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you so much. Really happy to hear that. Yes, there’s so much to discover in our own ‘backyard’. 😊

[@MrB590]

Problem is Australia is so expensive compared to other favourite overseas holiday places.

[@oxlox7524]

Really good video. Very sharp images (I watched on a 4K monitor). Informative without being gushing. Tad 'Janet and John' in places - 'Now let's look at the train being hitched up' and "Now let's look in the cupboard' 😊. Really inspired to try this train on my next trip to Australia to watch the 2025/26 Ashes. The compartments looked newer and more modern than those I've experienced on the Indian-Pacific (2017) and The Ghan (2023) - Gold twins on each occasion but I'll be in a single on The Great Southern. The scenery and the off-train trips look very interesting too (especially when compared with The Ghan, which I was disappointed with), but would have liked bit more on the other off train tours at each stop. Thanks.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you! TBH I had to Google your Janet and John reference. 😂 Great to hear the video has inspired you to consider taking this train. I believe the Gold Singles have been much more recently refurbished than the twin cabins … although the operators have refurbished some twin cabin carriages lately but they’ve rebranded those as Gold Premium class with higher fares.

[@PaulBoshler-vq6bo]

We did the Brisbane to Adelaide run in 2019. Different side tours to the northern run so interesting stops in both directions. Apart from the woeful NSW track network (you nearly get thrown out of bed if your twin cabin is over the bogies), it was a great trip with wonderful food and attentive staff. I would do it again to experience the northern run.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you so much - really appreciate that. Yes, only the single cabin carriage has that curved design ... I think it's meant to maximise space on each side. The design of all the passenger cabins in the single cabin carriage (regardless of which side you're on) is the same as the cabin I was in.
