Re: Most hated trains in Australia! :-) (was: Favourite train/tram [Aus wide])

As I said all these long distance trains are generally pretty good,
Westlander maybe the worst of all but still better then average trains like
XPT/Xplorer. Last time I travelled by Westlander 2 of the coach class having
aircondition break down and the conductor asked all the coach class
passengers either stay in the buffet car or just take over all the
economic/first class sleeper!!! since there was only one cabinet taken.
(there was only 10 passnegers in coach class anyway included myself) I
wondered if Westlander still have those grey/white vinyl seats????

I've never tried mail train before, as they all disappear by the time I'm
finacially capable of travelling :-)
I heard of different experience from people who travelled by mail trains.
Some said mail trains are like hell and some reckons mail trains are the
ultamate rail expereince.

Cheers
James
