      A gold class solo fare on The Indian Pacific is AUD$800 to $1200 (low to high season) which is around US$540 to $800. Still a lot but the Gold Class is just about as good as the Platinum class only they don't tuck you in and read you a bedtime story.

      If train travel is your passion then there are cheaper options on this train.....Also if U ever drive from Adelaide to Sydney there is a lot of towns and hotels along they way so don;t think i your car breaks down U R out there all by yourself......Plenty of familes try this route and the towns along the way are nice too.

    Way back then, we used go to the Biennial Festival in Adelaide. One year, we decided that we'd catch the Indian Pacific back to Sydney. To do so, we had to take a Sth Australian day train from Adelaide to Peterborough and change. That was a bit of a nuisance, but nothing much. The day train was comfortable and was well timed. It was slow.. We enjoyed seeing the change in scenery as we travelled north, but having done the journey once had no thought of a repeat. We were back in Adelaide a few Festivals later at the time pilots were going on strikes. One morning we awoke to news that there would be a strike which would interfere with our return. Now, we do like Adelaide, but had work to get back to, so we straightaway dashed to Adelaide station and booked our return journey. In the couple of years since out previous journey, there'd been work to the tracks and standard gauge trains, including the Indian Pacific came into West Adelaide eliminating the change at Peterborough. Again, a pleasant train journey back. Having a double compartment each time meant that we had our own shower and loo, with no need to journey down the corridor. On each occasion, the food was far from adventurous but good cooking of quality ingredients. All staff were pleasant. We ventured once to the Lounge Car, but it was not the sort of place we enjoyed - but obviously it appealed to others..

    Thanks for taking one for the team Kuga. Welcome to Australia - land of high prices and low value. Back in the 90's there used to be a thing called the Caper fare on the Indian Pacific - we would get that from Perth to Sydney. All you got was the seat for 4 days. Really helped to smuggle on a lot of booze to make the time pass. I think it was even cheaper than getting the bus across. Anyway, thanks again. Always wanted to see what was inside the fancy bit. Lol.

    Those little blue chocolates they give you are exclusive and very yummy - and so they should be, it is the most expensive chocolate in the world given the cabin cost 😂. With the nightcap - when I travelled Perth to Sydney, the attendant asked if I would like Baileys or Port. My response - yes. So I was duly left one of each for the 3 nights..
