Creator's Key Takeaways

I had incredibly high expectations but before we even got on board it I started to have real concerns because things were starting to go wrong

the food was great the crew were really helpful and really friendly I found the Platinum experience good overall

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Make sure to have enough clothes and toiletries in your carry-on since larger cases are only accessible at the end of the trip
βœ“Charge phones on rotation due to only one electric socket in the cabin
βœ“Book tours early as they run before breakfast and can be busy

Things going wrong before boarding β€” Shrug it off if traveling alone, but with family, ensure everything is sorted to avoid pressure
Luggage restrictions β€” Only take a carry-on bag plus another item like a rucksack; larger cases are checked in and only accessible at the end

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

The Indian Pacific is one of the famous and costliest train journeys in the world travelling 2,700 miles (4,352 kilometres) between Sydney and Perth Australia. So, I had very high expectations, but before we even got on board, I started to have concerns as things were going wrong which would have been fine if it was just me and my partner travelling, but we had booked two cabins in the premium Platinum class carriages to take my mother-in-law on a special once-in-a-lifetime trip for her 80th birthday. Adding even more pressure for this to be perfect. Join me as I share our experience on this famous train over the 3 nights and 4 days it takes, and if I thought it was worth it all by the end.
