the tikitTM takes a sleeper train to Brisbane

Bike Friday Brisbane dealer Epic Cycles sponsored BF's Customer Evangelist The Galfromdownunder coming up to Brisbane on one condition - she took the lo-hydrocarb train, not the hi-drocarb plane. It provided a neat view of yet another folding environment - the sleeper cabin on CountryLink.

On the Brisbane Limited/Southern Aurora/Spriit of Progress, each first class twinette compartment had its own shower/toilet cubicle, instead of having to share one between two compartments.

@dgalvan123 Trains are Very Very Cheap compared to planes, but its longer in a train then a plane

Why didn't you and your mother share a sleeper?

[Philip2096]

I took my 83 year old mother(she wont fly) to brisbane in the sleeper. she loved it, although 14 hours is very long. she was getting over a broken hip and the toliet was interesting, especially at 2am.

14 hours on a train vs. 1 hour on the plane? Wow. . . That's a hard sell to convince someone they should take the train.

I think we just need faster trains.

Wow... everything's so tight

Thanks for the video - always wanted to know what's on the Countrylink trains.
