As you say, this is very on-brand for you. Hopefully you'll be able to get in another XPT trip before you leave Oz?

Already got another two booked, just hoping Power Car 2015 doesn't turn up again!

No, the long distance services are not all that joined up with Sydney Trains.

A brief wander around Hawkesbury River station, while we wait for the electric train to turn up.

Power car 2006, the real hero of today's journey.

A train going the wrong way turns up, but fortunately (and with a little help from a fellow passenger shouting to all!) no one boards.

A locomotive turns up to haul the XPT away. Unfortunately, I couldn't hang around long enough to see how they set up the coupler on the XPT.

And here's my Sydney Train, originally going to Straithmore but for us extended to Sydney Central.

It looks very American!

Onwards we go to Sydney Central, via Epping and West Ryde.
