Try the train

Hi,

I had to get to melbourne from sydney for a one day meeting on short notice. The only air tickets available were around $450 into tullamarine. I would have had to fly down the night before and so would have needed a hotel for the night.

I took the train. $243 for a sleeper, includes breakfast and access to a shower. Considering a cheap hotel would be around $100 quite a bargain. If you take the day train and opt for economy it's under $50.

Similar price brisbane to sydney.

These are xpt trains which are ok but not like trains from adelaide to darwin, sydney to perth which are like mini hotels and cost $1000's.

Cheers
Paul
