here's a quick trip report style video of a trip I made on the Spirit of Queensland recently. No narration, just captions and footage.

Re: Spirit of Queensland Video
Good work on the video it is well put together. It confirms what I thought about it - it's a plane on rails. Give me a private compartment, dining & lounge cars instead thanks. Thats a rail journey.

Re: Spirit of Queensland Video
the XPT LOOKS like a steam train travelling to the gold coast in the 60's.............qld is backward in some things..........but your country trains up north are way of the 21st century......................and thats comming from a former qld bred and born! and thats what should be running between brisbane and sydney at a DECENT hour!
