Re: XPT - First or Economy??

I once traveled on the XPT from Taree to Sydney, then the only difference
between first class (which I was on) and economy was the color of the seats,
added to that we had all the economy passengers walking through our car to get
to the buffet car.
Imagine the airlines allowing all the economy passengers to wander up into the
first/business class areas.
After that I  go economy or drive.
