  Another good video where you showed both sides of the train whilst travelling

  Darnick really is a 'you blink you miss' station.

  Definitely something I could put on in the background while studying! 😎

  I've travelled from Condobolin to Kiama a number of times and I've found the Xplorer trip very pleasant. It does generally run on time. I find the most pleasant stretch of the trip that from Bathurst to Lithgow - very attractive and scenic, with an added interest of watching how the rail line has evolved in a number of places. At on stage you can see two older track alignments, and getting in towards Lithgow, and older viaduct. My wife and I are planning to do the combined bus/train trip sometime in the not too far distant future.

  Ivanhoe, a place where the Indian Pacific once stopped. Only 2.5hrs north of Balranald and a great place to get old railway track memorabilia

  &apos;We have one sandwich&apos;!! Perhaps there is a source of sandwich in Broken Hill.<br>I guess its part of the guileless charm of NSW Rail!<br>I did have a fabulous trip on this service from Sydney regardless of the amateurish procedures. I remember it being much quieter than this video.

  Love those views of Broken Hill. South Australia is totally jealous.

  The current buses for such long distances are nightmarish. Take a look at TransWA&apos;s long distance coaches .. &nbsp;better than a plane.

  I dont mind travelling on the Explorers, however the squeaking bogies really start to grind after a while. surely its an easy maintenance fix?

  I hate that coach service, seats give me no end of back trouble, over the past couple of years moves have been made to pressure the NSW TrainLink people to introduce an extra service to no avail. &nbsp;This train is &quot;under promoted&quot; as per its tourist potential and thus create additional loading and encourage a second service. &nbsp;Many people, who don&apos;t like the coach, are put off spending a week in Broken Hill, or people like myself who need to get to Menindee. &nbsp;Great video, a few notable places missed along the way but the train was probably going too fast to include them.
