Agreed - that is why I chose to catch the train (admittedly an XPT) when I
went to Melbourne for the tennis this year - Tennis Australia would refund
my fare up to $269, no matter which mode I chose, so I thought what better
way to go than to settle down in my sleeper with a few beers, then off to
bed (well, I can think of a better way - relaxing in the club car with a
couple of bourbons then off to bed, but we know that ain't gonna happen).
