Another great show Matt! I'm actually getting the Overland in 4 weeks time, after heading to Melbourne to ride some trams, then the train to Adelaide! Will be a great trip , just a shame they won't let me off at Lofty..lol. Will be in Stirling on July 29 for a week , so let me know if your around. Cheers Gregg.
Overland is a great trip mate! I'm jealous. I wouldn't mind going for another trip myself at some stage. Arguably, the train should stop at Mount Lofty or Aldgate and even Narine near Mount Barker but you know how these things work... I should be around then mate. Would be nice to catch up. Send me a text when you arrive and I'll get you know. Cheers Matt - M&S Trains
That could work and cause the shuttles would be shorter services with only having Adelaide freight (Probably only a third of the full length), it would make crosses at Mount Lofty & Balhannah possible with Mount Barker Passenger Services!
It’s not a passenger car. It’s a crew car used from Port Augusta to Perth. Out there most trains are three or four man trains. The crew car is for one of the crew to rest it. It has a kitchen, lounge room, several bedrooms and shower facilities.
Very nice video.

That Adelaide Hills bypass is a no brainer! Freight to an from Adelaide could be handled by shuttles to Tailem bend & Two Wells

@@MS_Trains it would indeed! And if they sought the rest of the line out double stacks Melbourne to Perth!
Thank you

very cool mate
Could you do a video that’s just Passenger trains in and around Adelaide? (4000 and 3000 Classes, Overland, Ghan, Cockled Train etc)
Sounds like a plan!

12:30, are those wagons on sg or bg? are they a half attempt at a tourist attraction?
Broad Gauge, I think. I'd say you're right, but they're not looked after in anyway so no surprise the council wants them gone.

What is the purpose of that passenger car on the first train?
It’s not a passenger car. It’s a crew car used from Port Augusta to Perth. Out there most trains are three or four man trains. The crew car is for one of the crew to rest it. It has a kitchen, lounge room, several bedrooms and shower facilities.
Does Tailem Bend not want those carriages? How dare they!!!
They'll end up at a good home, I'm sure.
