You don't have to pay for the drink if you bought red premium ticket
God why anyone would want to go to Adelaide anyway has got me beat. Paint drying is fascinating compared to Adelaide.
What a fantastic video thank you very informative and entertaining
Probably a popular train today get out of that shit city Melbourne your kidding
How much is the ticket fare?
Awesome, great commentary Rory 😁. Enjoying your videos while in lockdown and working from home.
Is it possible to buy only ticket without meals included?
One day, one day. So far the closest I've been is watching the Indian Pacific pull out of East Perth…
Great review!
wow great and during lockdown?
I would like to see a review of the Adelaide to Darwin line from you that would be good and interesting to watch
Fantastic review
it's crap
Probably the last loco hauled interstate daylight passenger train in the Commonwealth. Keep it going !
Great video, but disappointing train. I hoped it might be more luxurious.
Do a Prospector train WA Perth to Kalgoorlie. Only 7hrs. I'll join you. Luv your vids. I wish there was an around the world train ticket
828kilo？
Go buy car, a lot better. You can go to Naracoorte fossil site. But a nice review. Thank you mate.

We do not recommend this video. The uploader's contents are suspect. Why does he percest in wearing a mask?
Another great video which captures what for me is the old fashioned benefits of a very relaxing train trip. Thanks. 9/10.

Everyone Liked That:
I like watching your videos they make me feel relaxed. Thank you
Excellent review but beans for breakfast? Yuck
i live in melbourne, hope you missed our lockdowns 🇦🇺🐨👍
I went on this train in 2014 it was so good!
God the sight that the older Overland with the car and sleeper cabs would have been a sight. Loved that you got shots of the marshalling yard the end. Lots of history there.
So good! Keep up the great work👍
Lovely presentation Rory. As an American, I’d take your trains just so I could see your beautiful country up close. The only thing that would probably get on my nerves after awhile would be the constant squeaking of the carriage. 🙄. Another trip I would definitely do is the Indian Pacific in platinum class.😉
The antiques of the last century, backward Australia, is a big rural area. To see what high-speed rail is in China, one hour's journey in China took 10 hours in Australia.
Ty.thinking of taking Overlander.early next year..🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
Like your videos ..and travel talk.Well done.and easy to follow.🍉🐇🐇🐇
Hi What was that app you were using to show speed of train great idea.
Great video Rory
Plenty of detail to inform the new traveller. I have done the syd-melb run a few times.
Thanks for sharing this Rory!! The overland is such an amazing train ride. Definitely going for the massaman curry though – that looks amazing!!
i think it was more fun when it ran overnight and people could book a sleeper room with their own personal bathroom. If they want to attract people who might normally fly then I think a more luxurious bar area and more privacy for travellers would be worth including. Thank goodness the Victorian government is supporting this very historic lovely route. The journey deserves to be better promoted.
