Best way to Lithgow, IMO. The electric service takes a fair while, though can be cheaper without the Discovery Pass. That coach replacement for the Melbourne XPT sounds quite undesirable. Edit: Fun Fact. Capertee Canyon, aka Capertee Valley, which we see in part at 25:19, is 1km wider than the Grand Canyon in the US, making it the world's widest canyon :)
Thks for filming this video, just a question - are the coaches for Casino-Surfers the same coaches as this one? It looks comfy enough I may change my mind about catching a day train to GS one day.
They really need to update the XPT which is a really old train these days. One of the engines a few years back could not be turned off as they could not re start it. Maybe one day Australia might start to think for the future instead of being lazy and waiting too long as their inept attitudes costs the country a lot more due to their time lapse in replacing transport and much more
I couldn’t 10 tunnels not 2 Phil, I love these videos, they remind me of my youth xx
Last week I caught the XPT To Maitland unfortunately I only had enough for a one way ticket then I had to catch a normal train back to Strathfield
I think someone has the Discovery Pass!!
Correct lol
Thanks for the great trip.Most enjoyable on a lovely sunny day.

Sydney your the best
I miss the buffet car. Nothing beats cake and coffee or wine and cheese whiles rolling through the countryside.
I’m so happy you’re doing regional services
I wish the State Govt opens up the Mudgee line service for passengers again. Can't understand why they closed the line in the first place.

Have you thought about doing any request stops.That would be fun.
Isn't there a rail line to mudgee already?
does that bus connect with the train in both directions?
Yes :)
man i hope my xpt has one of those doors
What other xpt and explorer trip are you going to?
Phil, what did you do at Mudgee?
Had lunch, explored the town and looked at shops
Melbourne coaches replaced by coaches? At least it'll be faster lol
