Sadly, I only have 4 of the commemorative photos, Which the attendant will take of you holding the special placard with the day's date on special trains e.g. The A train, The Train to Yufuin etc.

    My wife and I were booked on the Ghan (platinum sleeper) in late May. 4 days before we were due to head off, her father died. Now, I get that their terms say that cancelling at such short notice means no refund, I really do. But I would have expected a halfway decent company to offer some sort of token partial credit for a future trip. Just as a gesture of good faith. But no. Beyond are beyond belief. Not only will I never travel with them, I will - and am - telling everyone I know this story.
