What is it about the "slow TV" that's so therapeutic and relaxing, thoroughly enjoyed that, many thanks

This brings back a lot of memories. I used to travel on the Southern Aurora overnighter in the late 70s in a single sleeper, shoe shine and continental breakfast, beers in the club car.Thankyou for the video.

The trip offers a beautiful autumn scenery. The blue grey green variety of eucalyptus trees are mixed with the golden leaves of poplar trees, in green and brown fields. Over them, is a welcome to my eyes, an enormous blue sky. I remember the seventies, when I was swimming with my family in the Murray river. Thanks you for the nice video.

I've taken this train trip as far as Wangaratta and I love travelling on the V/Line, it's such a smooth trip and these new trains are very modern and seem to ride pretty well.

Wow. I have never met a youtuber this nice before.

I really love watching these videos on my computer and also have OpenRailwayMap on my tablet following the train. ❤

@ 1:54:45. Looks like we found the Violet Town Village Idiot . The man most likely to not succeed! Crossing a railway track with train in platform as it toots rather than wait 60 seconds. Great journey though. Could really get some speeds up on that track even more I suppose if they improved it further: lots of nice straights and gentle curves. Made for high speed more than many in the state. Although wildlife might be an issue.

I took this trip both ways in May 1987. Southern Cross station didn't exist then but Spencer St. station did. Cheers from Vancouver.

Any possibility we will see Albury to Southern Cross? Can't explain why I find your videos so satisfying but please keep it up!

[brucemclaren]

Great video Colin and thanks for the toots to the SM and ASM at Tallarook, seem to be in residence but not on the platform!

New Subscriber, hoping for nice long videos like this

It just gives the viewers a clearer perspective of just how large Victoria is and to think multiply this distance by 10 to get to Perth or by 12 to get to Darwin. This country is staggering in the rail distances that it can cover. Great video 😅

Just a further comment they could have kept the double track from the Murray River to Albury and beyond. I hope that they build a new bridge over the Murray River sooner than later.

I’m surprised to see it only takes 3 hrs and 13 min, but before it took 4 hours [nearly]

[topresearcher]

woohoo the complete journey well done 😀
