点评:People asked why we got the train from Melbourne to Adelaide, but for us it worked really well. We picked up drinks, breakfast and lunch from near Southern Cross and settled down with earphones, books, magazines and cards to enjoy the journey. It gave some welcome respite between busy days of exploring and sightseeing, and gave us a different way to see the countryside. We knew before booking it wouldn't be luxurious, we found it worked well for us. Seats aren't allocated in advance, but we were sat together with a window. The only chaotic aspect was collecting luggage in Adelaide, with station staff and the Train Manager giving different information as to how it should be collected and being sent from place to place. We ended up collecting it from by the train, so we could get on the way to our accommodation.
翻译:人们问我们为什么要坐火车从墨尔本去阿德莱德,但对我们来说这种方式非常合适。我们在南十字车站附近买了饮料、早餐和午餐,然后戴上耳机,拿着书、杂志和纸牌,惬意地享受起旅程。这段旅程让我们在连日的游览和观光后得到了难得的喘息机会,也让我们以另一种方式欣赏到了沿途的田园风光。预订前我们就知道这趟列车不会有多豪华,但事实证明它很适合我们。座位是不需要提前预定的。不过我们是挨着窗户坐的。唯一混乱的环节就是在阿德莱德取行李——车站工作人员和列车长给出的取货指引各不相同,还把行李四处转运。最后我们还是从火车旁取到了行李,这样就能前往下榻处了。
