The Ghan - taking Australia's iconic rail journey | Adelaide to Alice Springs

I don’t think the Ghan management could put together a better advert than what you did. They should give you a lifetime pass. Platinum.

[@mrmullett1067]

You made a comment about a question often asked. "Doesn't it get boring?" and your reply was something akin to a passenger on an ocean liner of the past. The seascape on a ship is always different but always the same (sort of) .. the similarities of watching an endless similar landscape passing by .. as in the ocean passing by, in calm waters and stormy seas, it almost forces you to be sociable and what a wonderful thing that is. I have done many ocean liner voyages most were 4-6 weeks long from NZ to UK and vice versa. They impacted on my life in so many ways, and I get the feeling of something like that in your videos. Difference is there is no outside deck to wander around on. Funny old world. Cheers

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Interesting to know. I haven’t been on a cruise ship … yet. Cheers!

This is such a good video. Me and my wife watch ghan videos anytime we have a treat night when the kids are in bed with a beer and a wine in hand. It's our dream to make the trio. Thanks for the great video. Watching from Liverpool, UK

I have loved The Ghan since I was very little, and even though I have never rode it, I would ❤ to one day. The reason why I first heard of The Ghan was because one of my Mum's friends Dad loves trains, and he drove across Australia for years, filming trains across the country, and put all of the footage onto a DVD once he got all the footage he wanted of trains he wanted to see, and two clips of the The Ghan were among them. A short while longer, my parents discovered I had a huge interest in trains, and asked the person to make a copy of the DVD for me, and he happily did so, and when I first saw the Ghan train on the DVD, I instantly fell in love! The red NR class locomotive, and the stainless steel carriages which reminded me of the USA's Budd passenger cars, and the route it takes, Mmm-Mmm! Lovely!

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Wow. That’s a wonderful story. I hope you get to travel on it one day. Thank you for watching!

I rode the Ghan back in 1999, before the line was extended to Darwin. This brings back a lot of memories and I'd love to do it again one day.

[@DesertThunderDownUnder]

Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. I have lived in Alice Springs for twelve years, from Brisbane. Each week I sit in my car or pull up with bicycle or walk adjacent to the railway line walkways and marvel at this almost one kilometre of travelling bewilderment of steel, luxury, comfort, freight, fellow travellers, and staff. I think about the people behind double-glazed windows staring back at me on the journey they made to be where they are. Inching their far away ways through the red centre. I will be so humbled later this week to standby the railway walkways of Alice Springs as The Ghan enters 0870, I will gesture with gratitude for knowing so much more about this mighty and legendary locomotive of travel and adventure and what makes it tick with service and hospitality on the inside. Thank you, watching your two videos on the stretch from Adelaide to Darwin has made my year. 😊🚊🎒📚🧳🚂🌏

My daughter and I travelled the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide in late March 22, it was fabulous! We also did the Overland from Adelaide to Melbourne, and I'd now like to do some of the other great train journeys across Australia.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

So glad to hear that. Enjoy your future travels!

[@garynewton1263]

Whqt would be great to see is The Ghan running from Melbourne to Darwin, overnight stay in Adelaide. That way we'd eliminate the need for The Overland. Melbourne to Darwin would be one of the worlds top 3 train trips behind The Orient Express & The Rocky Mountaineer.

I've done the Indian Pacific, Sydney to Perth. Whole Heartedly recommend it. The off train options in Adelaide are all incredibly good. The Rawlinna dinner's awesome.

[@garynewton1263]

@@rick_fortune this post focuses on The Ghan, Australia's best and most famous train journey. Nobody mentioned anything about the boring east west trip. I'd rather visit a giant ball of mud than a shithole like sydney. Melbourne is Australia's best city and its also the rail and transport hub of Australia. All trains should run through Melbourne, not through dirty shitholes!

I did 10 trips although covering, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Alice Springs, Darwin, Back to Alice Springs, then back to Adelaide for my trip to Sydney. Then I rejoined at Alice to go back to Adelaide and back to Perth. other than the lack of choice in the buffet car, it was great. Miss Australia and all the friends I made.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

[@Bobrogers99]

As in the US, I'm sure that the tracks are maintained primarily for freight trains, and improving their condition for passenger comfort would be a costly program. The majority of people who travel long distances fly, though they miss out on the spectacular scenery! But The Ghan has done all they can to make you comfortable, and those meals looked wonderful.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Yes, true - it's mainly a freight line. Other than that, yes it was wonderful. :)

[@andyrob3259]

BUT the entire line was newly constructed 30 years ago (late 80’s) with modern techniques. To be honest it shouldn’t be in bad shape it’s not like it’s 100 years old with minimal maintenance.

[@qjtvaddict]

That’s the problem most rail passengers do not travel long distances. Intercity rail doesn’t work without extensive suburban rail systems in the cities served and in between. The other conditions for success include speed or a combination of speed and density of areas served. India gets away with its network due to such a high volume of people. The French railways and Spanish ones were in decline before upgrading to high speed service. USA has literally zero intercity rail outside the NEC that is even useable as frequency is too terrible to use fully and the few trains that run are slow and unreliable therefore useless. China literally had to kick passenger trains off of freight lines in order to make them reliable that’s the real basis behind their high speed rail system to separate freight from passengers to the benefit of both.

Thank you for this very informative clip - you've put a lot of effort into it and I'm very grateful for your efforts. I love train travel and had The Ghan high on my list of must do's. Sadly though, early in your clip, I noticed there was a fair amount of vibration and then you mentioned how poorly you slept. I think an uncomfortable ride - to say nothing of not being able to sleep - is a poor sign in this day and age. The Ghan isn't off my list just yet, but it has certainly dropped way down the list. I'll watch the second installment, and see how I feel afterwards.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Thank you - glad you appreciated it. Definitely watch part two (spoiler: the track does improve). The issue is not really the fault of the operators of The Ghan, but the owners of the railway. And the line primarily exists for freight - so having a smooth ride isn't that important to them. But hopefully they'll upgrade the track in time.
