Sleeper trains are enjoying a resurgence in Europe, but the sleeper service between Sydney and Melbourne is set to be scrapped.

    All good points. I don’t think I could sleep sitting up overnight, so that is why I would opt to fly. The only attractive thing about the train is I can try sleep laying down. I guess I will give the new train a try when it comes along but it isn’t sounding great considering the length of the journey

    I do like the start of the article where he talks about the dream train sleeper journey… it sounds magical

          @naevaTheRat The author (Tim Richards) is a fairly regular Mastodon user. (Lemmy posts also appear on Mastodon.)

          I thought I’d tag him in so he can see the discussion…

              I think they thought Tim richards wouldn’t realize the conversation was here on lemmy otherwise. With the username tagging, this user could be accessing the thread through mastodon
