I hope they can bring back 30$ coach fare to stay competitive with other
coaches as Overland is the most expensive way to get there on the ground ,
sleeper is even more expensive then airfare,  pay more attension with
daylight service, (best if they can have a twice dayliy, one day and one
night service., and improve facilities, (get a really comfortable lounge or
even an end obeservation lounge/platform car)

Cheers
