    The XPlorer and XPT seats were much better.

    Are you referring to the Oscar which runs between Sydney and Newcastle, or whatever they call it these days. I won't ride it again.

    That was one example.

    I also rode an Endeavour railcar out to Moss Vale, and that wasn't very comfortable either.

    Do you still get gassed from the fumes?
    I haven't been on one since that happened to me.
    Thank goodness it was a one way trip.

    I could smell them, as indeed I could on the XPlorer. Didn't
    particularly bother me though. I suspect some people are more sensitive
    to it than others.
