Welcome to this evenings’s Overland train experience and review! I will be following the comments in real time over the next hour or so in lure of an offical premier so do leave your comments down below on your thoughts on the Overland and I’ll be sure to respond :)
The trusty Pacific National locomotive is the backbone of the Australian railways it hauls everything form the Indian Pacific (and indeed the Overland) to all your freight trains across the Trans Australian Railway and up at the mines!
It’s so annoying that this train is so infrequent! It has potential but it’s a bit of a disservice to call it public transportation when it doesn’t run daily. Also exclusive trains from Melbourne to Horsham / dimboola / Nhill should be reinstated so the north western part of Victoria can be served like the swan hill, Echuca, Albury, Shepparton and Bairnsdale lines are served. And coaches from close towns to be connected to the nearest station along the route.
I agree twice weekly only in each direction I believe. Apparently the pandemic nearly ended the service altogether - so infrequent really had to plan all my other travel movements around this train! It be great if it run daily back to back this mean you would have both day time and overnight services giving people choice. Reckon the demand for intercity trains has never been higher in Australia with cost of living crisis! Reality is this service is privately run so they can’t just cop huge losses paid for by the taxpayer!
Talk about amazing scenery - looks like an incedible journey to do!
Thanks for watching. Thrilled you enjoyed it!

Me being an little twit by thinking that you rode the Indian Pacific because of the thumbnail with the "Pacific National" train carriage 😅
