I'm a frequent user of rail (CityRail and CountryLink) and am not doubting
that you are (although I have not counted the number of times). Having said
that, I have only used sleepers on the Indian Pacific and the Overland where
I know I can get a single room for me (unlike the XPT sleeper where I would
need an empty berth or a partner to ensure that I'm not there with a strange
guy). I am only doubting that you got the point in my original thread in
this post regarding pensioner class. If you want a challenge, have you
survived a Brisbane - Cairns trip in a sitter?

| ok eric how many times have you done the trip from brisbane or melbourne
by
| xpt.
| every yr i am heading to melbourne by train and always go cattle class on
| both day and night trains
| i did only once tried a sleeper on the trip back from melbourne and i can
| say that never again will i use there sleepers un less you are about 5"5
| tall not somebody like me who is over 6"high.
| and i can tell you that trying to sleep wasnt any good as they are the
| hardest thing that i have slept on  waiting seats and also on station
floors
| in the middle of nowhere waiting for the train ie junee at 2am in the
| morning.
| so for somebody like me that lives on a tight budegt cattlke class is the
| only way to go unless i want to not have money going on my trip to the
| states next xmas.
| even there i will be goig cattle class on my $385 us dollars pass.
