I traveled holiday class on the Indian pacific line. The fc was very expensive. Holiday class was several steps below Amtrak. The food offerings and quality were inferior. There was basically one choice for each meal each day. There was little variance. Always eggs. They were overcooked too. No pancakes or french toast. That was one train I was actually glad to get off of. The meals ont the high speed trains were nasty. 12 hours on the sydney Brisbane run without decent food. Plus we had to get off and ride a bus for the last hour northbound. Southbound you can ride the train the whole way. I like trains, and am patient. Now this was a truly crappy product. So don't talk about is Americans until you get your country straightened out. Intact you can go book your quantad flight now and check out that fancy lounge
