Don't get me wrong.  I love travelling by train.  I make the trip from Southern Cross station to home via Swan Hill on a regular basis.  The last bit of the journey is by coach.  I do not enjoy that part of the trip at all.  But there is one big minus about travelling on the train.  It is far far too cold.  On one of my trips I made the night journey.  If I thought it was cold travelling by day it was nothing compared to the to the night trip.  It was freezing.  The smart ones had brought along a rug, but the rest of us had to be a bit more resourceful.  We put on extra clothes from our carry on luggage, pulled the hoods over our heads, scrunched up into tiny balls and cuddled ourselves to keep warm.  Note to myself.  If travelling by night come prepared for artic conditions.
