- Broken Hill Last Train is a full documentary of our trip from Sydney to Broken Hill on the Outback Explorer in April 2021. We start with a 5:00am departure from home, going over the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the dark and arriving at Central Station at 5:30am. The luggage check in is not until 6am so we do a tour of the grand concourse which is stunning. We were fortunate enough to travel in the first class carriage and the comparison to the economy class is only the fact that the seats recline to 22 degrees where in economy they only recline 10 degrees, plus the buffet is in the first class carriage.
The train ventures through Sydney and suburbs in the early hours of the morning arriving at the Blue Mountains on sunrise. We have included stops at Orange and Ivanhoe.
We have also included a food review of State rail's hot dinner which we found quite satisfactory.

Love it absolutely love it!
Nice little video i enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing. This is one trip that I wish I had done when living in Sydney prior to moving in 1981. I have been as far as Orange on that direct line, but no further. I have also been to Mudgee by train via Lithgow years ago.
Shame Mudgee now cut off at Kamdos. That missing link would provide an alternative trip into Dubbo
@@AustNRail Does the train still go to Kandos? I thought it was cut off at Lithgow. It really doesn't make much sense why they just couldn't keep the Mudgee trains going. yes, extending the line to Dubbo via Mudgee would be a great idea. Unfortunately, governments never seem to know what most of their voters actually want done.
@@RGC198 you are correct, no passenger services beyond Lithgow towards Mudgee. There is however regular freight trains. I looked at all the stations along the route and they are in great condition. I’m certain the train would be popular if the line was reinstated back to Mudgee. I know I would head up there and check out the vineyards.
@@AustNRail Years ago, my wife and I traveled from Sydney to Mudgee by train and it was great. We had to change trains at Lithgow, where a rail motor ran between Lithgow and Mudgee.
Very well done guys, thank you.
Well done, thanks for taking the time. I caught the bus twice from BH back to Sydney, I wish this service was available back in the 80's. Cheers.
Well music a bit loud but I enjoyed the video, very well done, I drove trains for a long time but I never got any further west than Katoomba
Thanks for the feedback.I’m very conscious about the voice now. Wise I could amend this one .
I'm with ya on the music
2002 i traveled from Perth to Sydney, also stopped two hours for tour at Brokenhill where is very beautiful place.
Brokenhill was already very quiet in 2002. At that time most steel plant were transferred to Asian countries. Nice lovely lady i like.
Thank You
Gr8 video, but keep the music background music volume down, can't here what U were describing
This service could ,or should be extended thru to Adelaide between the usual IP service ??
Great video. What I can hear of your comments is good but the music! Way too loud!
it’s a shame now it’s a sub par coach connection. why did they cut the service?
Thanks for uploading the video. However, if there is a next one, please, please get rid of the music and turn up the audio. Can't hear you over the music and the music has nothing to do with video.
Ok thank you
only 2 carriages???
Yes only two
Yep, lnp govt, what else would you expect
