>>971978If it lives up to its fame, it's definitely more than the IP and Ghan of which the latter is the longest passenger train in the world
Things like the 7 Stars are meant to be absurdly exclusive to the point where you can't pay your way to the front of the queue and there's only 20-30 people per train
GSR Platinum service probably does come close in ways but you're still on the same train as the plebs!
Admittedly, I'd like do the Ghan or IP in Gold before I die. But there's no chance in hell of getting a seat on any of the JR cruise trains, never mind the fare itself
Curiously, the cost of building the 7 Stars is less than whatever alstom crap the NSW Government is probably going to order for its Intercity order. I think it stands at about $7.5 million a carriage now. The N700A costs $3.2 million a carriage or thereabouts
Also, Wakkanai. How long before the Northern tip is cut off due to lack of funds?
