Although we had actually flown from Brisbane at the start of our holiday, we decided to book the Tilt Train from Bundaberg to Brisbane. It was great, comfortable seating, both of us being able to seeing areas we would not usually see ,and... More

We had a great trip on the Tilt Train from Brisbane to Rockhampton. Very comfy seats with heaps of leg room. TV movie viewing with up to date movies. Food trolley come around regularly as well as the dining car was available. Food although expensive was usual for this sort of travel. Large viewing windows made this trip very interesting. More

With baggage checked in, the arrival of the Tilt Train generated excitement with its funky paintwork celebrating the Queensland landscape augured well but that would soon be dashed once you boarded the train and found your own seat. Given that this was a 'Business' Class train with a $300+ ticket price, one might have expected a... More

We recently went on the Tilt train from Proserpine, Queensland to Cairns which took most of the day. Apart from the fact that the train was two hours late to arrive, it was right on time for the rest of the trip. We arrived in Cairns two hours later as well. The train was clean and the seats were very... More
