Congratulations! Well done on an awesome and high quality visual of your Blue Train journey! We enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. The Blue Train is now on our bucket list. Do consider the Rocky Mountaineer as well here in British Columbia. It will be memorable too. Regards from 🇨🇦

Thank you very much for the great comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm still on a bit of a learning curve, but it's great to hear that others also enjoy the video. It's still a dream to travel to Canada. But will hopefully get to fulfill that dream within the next year or 2. And will definitely have a look at the Rocky Mountaineer. Must be fantastic and very scenic to go though the mountains.

@@edwardlowe7260 it's not a passenger train in the sense that it has to stop at every station. It keeps on moving and only stops at Kimberley station. And yes the train stations in SA are in a derelict condition but that is not THIS train's fault. This video isn't about the condition of the stations. It's about the experience on the train. But if you choose to only focus and look at the negative things, that's what life hands you. More nasty, negative things. Sorry you feel this way about the stations. Luckily there are loads of other beautiful things still in this country.

@@edwardlowe7260 if you looked at the video you will see that the train does in fact stop at Kimberley station. It's not a passenger train in the sense that it has to stop at every station. The itinerary is very clear on the website and once you board the train, and it clearly states where the train stops.

It didn't run empty and we bathed twice on the train. I think they might refill the tanks when they stop in Kimberley

I'm not sure how much they carry, but not all cabins come with a bath tub. Most only have a shower.

@@edwardlowe7260 Obviously sour grapes - was the trip too expensive for you? Now you you're pointing out derelict stations and the Lord knows what else. No security was ever required for this type of train. Have a Trellidor fitted to your cabin next time round - if you can afford it!
