Overnight Train Adventure | The Truth about Australian Trains | Sleeper Train Review / NSW TrainLink

The XPT is a shadow of what once was. We use to have The Southern Aroura which was a luxury train with sleepers and white linen service, dining and club cars. The XPT is a tired old train. Time for a classic upgrade!!!

[@NonStopTravelVV]

Oh that would be amazing! The southern aurora must have been before my time (here in Australia). Thank you for watching 😊😊😊

[@r-labs9357]

Or maybe a renovation and refurbishment at least

[@michaeledwards1172]

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.

This is the first time I saw your channel. I love how you turned a disappointment into an adventure, and with such enthusiasm and gusto. As you can possibly tell, by the single ticket left, the XPT is a popular rail service, despite its misgivings and age. 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.

[@willpugh-calotte2199]

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.

[@NonStopTravelVV]

Yes they had to be very quick to clean for the turnaround. They did a great job but I do think it’s time for slightly more modern trains. Thank you so much for watching!

[@arokh72]

@@NonStopTravelVV new trains, CAF Civity, are supposed to be coming 2026/7, after lengthy delays. At this stage, Jan 2024, there are no sleeper options.

Nice review sometimes it's good to take the slower journey and just enjoy the whole experience for what it is! 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!

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.

[@NonStopTravelVV]

Wow thank you that’s great information! Now it all makes sense. I’m very curious about the new trains now, hopefully they’ll come soon and then I’ll take another trip to see the difference. Thank you so much for watching and for your wisdom. Much appreciated!

[@johnlang4198]

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.

[@malcolmmoore6848]

This should be a 3 hour trip : The fundamental problem with HSR is that the rail gauge of 1435 mm is far too narrow (as the rail cars a 3040 mm in width) - so the trains have to follow a (very expensive) virtual straight line - or tip over! This is a classic “5 Monkey Experiment” scenario - “we have always done it (incorrectly) that way”!! The so-called “Standard” rail gauge is only 1435 mm (which was actually engineered for 5’ width (mining) rail cars - and not for 8’ 0” rail cars! Brunel (in the CE 1830 - 40s) came up with a 7’ 0” rail “Broad” gauge that was perfect for 8’ 0” width rail cars - as this was far more stable and far larger load capacity (and lower maintenance) than the narrower gauges! All hell broke loose and Stephenson eventually pressed the UK Parliament for the “UK Standard Rail Gauge Act” CE 1846 to deliberately / deceptively eliminate Brunel’s excellent “Broad” gauge competing with his then commonly used “standard” gauge. In the CE 1920-30s Train cars became even wider to 10’ 0” (3040 mm) - and far more unstable as they were still using “Standard” gauge (1435 mm) that was less than half the width (3040 mm) of the cars. Would you drive road car with an 1800 mm width that has barely an 850 mm wheel gauge? No! Well only in a straight line!! The correct rail gauge for 3040 (10’ 0”) rail cars is 2540 mm (8’ 4”) “Wide” gauge rail! With this “Wide” gauge, these rail cars will be very stable and the HSR “Wide” rail lines do not have to be dead straight (as per HSR using the incorrect “Standard” Gauge rails)! This correctly engineered “Wide Gauge” rail line in Australia can then be applied for about 90% of the way using the pre-existing rail easements at a small fraction of the cost of making completely new rail easements and tracks. WDYT ?! 😊

I have never been inside the sleeper car because we don't have enough money and we always catch the day train to wagga wagga which is around half way between Sydney And Melbourne.

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
