Hi to all,
When I was a kid we used to take the overnight train from Durban to Johannesburg and return for the July holidays. It was a fantastic experience, cheaper than air travel and very comfortable. The journey typically started out at 5 to 6pm, dinner from 7pm, breakfast from 5 or 6 am (full hotel-style 3 course meals), arrival by 10am. Very memorable experiences, unfortunately train travel is no longer the same in S.A., except for a few very expensive rail enthusiast societies.
Best regards
Ralph
