Re: Traveling on the XPT

Sometime's first class can't be that much better... One return trip from 
Sydney, in car C me and a friend were bothered by this person who was 
keeping us awake by snoring lots. Not to mention the 3am baby change rush, 
where the whole train is compelled to change their babies one after the 
other in the electronic toilet in car C, obviously because it's bigger than 
the rest. Other than that, I would have quite happily stayed up all night 
but had to work the next day :(

On a trip to sydney just a month later I was in car B, and it was easier to 
relax, and taking into consideration I got up 7am that day I didn't get to 
sleep until we reached Gundagai, and woke up at Cootamundra... Was awake at 
the boring part of the journey, and slept through the interesting bit, i.e. 
Junee :-)


Regards
Michael
