Saw this train at Bunbury Bridge, Footscray, heading towards the city. I've never seen this type of train before and was wondering which line this is.

It's a long journey - over 11 hours. Full price tickets are $117 one way. You can get a budget airline ticket for similar money.
I'd only recommend it if you wanted to stop at a regional town along the way, or you really must endure a slow motion crawl through regional Vic and NSW.
Oh hell 11 hours? The back pain must be brutal!
I remember taking the train from Melbourne to Sydney to visit my grandma when I was about 12 years old…it felt like we were nice going to get there. It was fun at first…but after the first 6 hours the excitement wears off. The hardest part was knowing that in a week’s time, we would be making the reverse trip back home.
I take my kid to see her grandma on it all the time. Difference is she has a tablet for 12 hours of unbridled binge watching.
