🚨NOTE: This isn't a trip report, it's not a travel vlog. If you need someone to tell you what it's like to travel on a train, then by all means search for another video. I'm a train enthusiast, not a vlogger. If you want information about onboard amenities feel free to ask me, but for more detailed descriptions visit journeybeyondr...
See what travelling aboard one of Australia's greatest train's, The Indian Pacific, is like. You will see onboard footage of the seating cabin, lounge car and the Queen Adelaide restaurant carriage.
You will also see plenty of footage of the country you pass through on the journey to Sydney. This includes Snowtown, Peterborough and Broken Hill, as well as Sydney suburbs Penrith and Parramatta.
The trip takes just over one full day, departing Adelaide Parklands Terminal at 10am on Wednesday and arriving at Central at 11:30am on Thursday.
It was a fantastic trip and I can highly recommend it if you are thinking about it. I hope you enjoy this video :)

Great video. Loved seeing the yards at Dry Creek.
I spent the nights of my childhood being lulled to sleep by the shunting of the goods trains in the yards there. My brother's best friend lost a couple of fingers one night down there hooking up the couplings.
Thanks Alex. I feel inspired to go have a look at this scenery in the train myself, after the covid dries up and sets us free to move around again.
Would have been fantastic at it's peak, looks a bit sad and sorry now. The AFT at Islington has all the action now, and the park behind Kilburn station has great views of the yard.
@@AlexsTrainChannel I am an oldie. They were still using steam as I grew up and I spent a lot of time on trains as my Dad worked for the railways. I used to love hanging my head out the window of the train and getting black smuts all over me. Back in the day when you could open a window !!!
Very nice trip you shared Alex. Thank you.
28:55 They're called the "Blue Mountains" because they need cheering up! LOL
@Neil Forbes well they wouldn't be called the red mountains for being so angry 😤 lol 😆
Your video is very helpful to pre-load imaginary for guided meditation 👍 much appreciated mate 🤙
At the 36 minute mark, the curves out off Broken Hill. Are design like that, because, the track is dead straight for about 20 km, or 30km. So they put those curves in, just in case a train is out off control. So if a run away train approaches, those curves at speed, the train will derail before coming, into Broken Hill. There are curves about 5km out off Broken Hill, on the south Australian side as will. As the ground is flat there's no need to have those curves their. So as I said they are there for emergency's, only. If I'm wrong please tell us all why those curves are there, OK thanks. Yes there are hills in the background, but not enough for the curves too be that Sharp. Or made into S bends.
It wouldn't want to rain when you travel through "Dry Creek", it'll become "Wet Creek!" LOL
@Neil Forbes or muddy creek
Hello Alex, I have read many reviews on Trip Advisor and there are so many complaints about the train journey being very very rough. What is your opinion? Thanks
Hello! There is a long answer and a short answer to this question. Short answer: yes. The track is 'rough'. One thing I remember is that I went to have a coffee in the lounge car and a lot of it ended up in the saucer. Keep in mind that was just one time.
Long answer: yes. But does it affect the experience? No. It didn't make it dangerous to move around the train, nor did it affect the comfort. It's a 5 stat hotel on tracks, the seating car is comfy as is your bed when you sleep. I personally found it difficult to sleep on the train due to the movement. But I have found it difficult to sleep on other trains on supposedly 'better' tracks so that's not a fault with the indian pacific.
The other thing that the general public may not realise is that the train runs over tracks used 99% for freight movement, and it is built as such. It is not built for a smooth ride.
@@AlexsTrainChannel Excellent, very much appreciated. Thanks.
It should be one of my travel lists next year if I can afford not to eat for four days three nights on the train.
Food and drinks are free onboard, at a minimum the fare is inclusive of three meals a day + tea & coffee in between available in the lounge cars. Some of the off train activities also have food and drink available for free as part of the trip.
Did the Adelaide to Sydney "gold class", never again; got no sleep as other passengers did not.
Broken Hill to Outer Sydney the train travels on 19 century rail lines and the train hits every bump. Excellent train staff who were very hospitable and professional, the food served was haute cusine at its best.
I'll admit, I did find it difficult to sleep as well. I found the bed very comfortable but the movement of the train did make it hard.
Yes best way to describe the cuisine. Since the fed grubberment gutted subsidies to GSR, thus removing the economy class etc it became a predominantly 'high roller' train.
Same goes for the Ghan - cabin over a bogie and no sleep due to misaligned track.
Has great resemblance of Deccan plateau in South of India
Hope to be traveling both the Pacific and The Ghan in 2019
That will be great. Are you planning on doing the full trip on the indian Pacific from sydney to perth.
I will be on the Indian Pacific in Feb 2019. Sydney to Perth. :D

A more in depth explanation of your room and the train facilities in general would have been good
then just find another video
@@nextrux716 some people produce travel videos full of useful advice such as number and type of power sockets, standard of meals and service, others just shoot pictures out of windows!
I appreciate you are searching for some more information Colin. Might I suggest you do some research through google, or read the video description, in which should be a link to the journey beyond rail website. If you read the description you should also see that I've explained why there is no narration. If you also take a look at my channel, you will see that I am first and foremost a train enthusiast, not a travel vlogger.
I appreciate that this video might not be what you are looking for. I hope you can appreciate that other's do like this video, and I'm sure you agree that this is a realistic representation of what travelling on the train is like.
10:43 Snowtown is a tiny place
Can you take your automobile on the Adelaide-Perth section of the Indian Pacific train?
Greetings from Madagascar!
Hello from Australia 👋 I believe you can take your vehicle with you on the adelaide - perth section of the indian pacific. Thank you for watching 😊
Better be careful with your soundtrack. RUclips's algorithms will have mate a match with that song that was playing at about 1 minute in, and you could be hit with a copyright infringement notice, even though you did not intend for that song to be in your video.
@Neil Forbes you can credit the songs to avoid copyright
@@Mediawatcher2023 If it's a commercially-issued song you can't use it *AT ALL!* Even if you credit the song, the performer, the composer(s), the music publishers OR record company. If you're using RUclips's music content, you need only credit the performers and the tune as well as RUclips Music Library, it's a common courtesy.
@@neilforbes416 if the song gets blocked *it gets blocked* youtube users *don't credit youtube music* but they do put a disclaimer to respect the torristrait islanders and the aboriginal elders to mark respect I used to do when I video a certain event and common courtesy wouldn't make any difference
@@Mediawatcher2023 Did I mention *ANYTHING* about Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people? Well, *DID I?* *NO I F-ING WELL DIDN'T!* I was talking about using copyrighted music in videos, *WHICH I DON'T DO!* I use RUclips Music Library content to *AVOID* the hassle. I really don't know why I bother explaining anything to you as you are clearly too dense to take in what I said. Instead you go off on a bullshit tangent about Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people that had *FUCK-ALL* to do with the subject of music copyright. And you wonder why I haven't subscribed to your channel.........!
great!
This train is pushing 50 years off age. I wonder, when they'll buy new carriages. This trains must do the must km in Australia. Crossing Australia twice a week. There and back again.
The XPT has the record of distance the English train enthusiasts can’t believe the longevity of the train in NSW !
Awesome train video
25:00 Oooooh
Thanks Alek for your nice vid. How much is the fare?
Around $,200 one way
@@colinwilkie2279 I have clearly been looking at the wrong website as I saw the price of this for trip for Gold Twin per person was a whopping $,898 one way ..... where did you get your price from please?
@@shirleyyoung8424 1997 prices, but for get the real price.
@@shirleyyoung8424 I travelled Perth to Sydney in gold class as a solo traveller. I paid $7000 one way in April 2019. They do have single cabins for approximately $2500 but none were available for this journey. Platinum class was available for $11000 for sole occupancy but I was not prepared to pay that much. The journey time is approximately 72hours Perth to Sydney.
Too much background chatter
