i dislike that train the XPT 1st class sucks.. i only can fit in the 1st class seats cause of my odd hight but honestly if XPT wants a better service they need to refurbish there passenger cars. Honestly the seats in 1st class are like the ones you get on a 1990 coaches bus. o.o

The experience of the working man who says it as it is.

I really do wonder about our Politicians. Where has the vision for our nation gone? Past governments and people did so much more with much less. Our contemporary government have higher revenues at their disposal, advanced technology etc Yet all they can do is SELL OFF everything prior generations worked so hard to build on the basis it "costs to much. We do enjoy a great standard of living in Australia - but its fading quickly folks.

Talking of blowing horns I live in China near a six track main line. All of the trains blow their horns so much. So do bus, taxi and other vehicle drivers !

Most of Australia is 1 long 1 short whistle at each crossing, but can depend if there is clear visibility of both sides of the crossing or not as to how long or often the driver will blow the horn.
