7:30 Overland Train from Adelaide arriving Melbourne 6:50 pm after a relaxing day watching the Scenery pass by.
After which we would take the Local Tram and walk home from the Terminus.
You can probably Guess by now that it's not how the day unfolded.
"Sorry Folks, we have been delayed leaving the Terminal - But Good News is we will be making up time over the Day."
Everything was fine.
The Train travelled on through the South Australian Countryside and across the Murray River
Once we were in Victoria we started noticing that they had had "A bit of Rain".
What we didn't know was -
We were travelling behind a Massive Storm
"We have been advised there is a Problem with the Signals ahead we have to wait for a Technician to arrive to fix them before proceeding - He will be an Hour....."
Which turned into TWO hours.
"Sorry Folks - We have been advised that a Lightening Strike has taken out the Signals ahead -
It's going to be another 2 Hours..."
Fortunately, We had tickets in Premium Economy and we were comfortable.
And everyone was well looked after.
Some of us got a bit bored and went for a walk -
Finding people to Chat to,
and a Santa to have a Selfie with.
It was Christmas Eve.
Everyone was in Good Spirits
We had missed the Storm
and were kept Safe
Arriving Home (By Taxi)
just before Midnight.
Merry Christmas to all
(Especially the Staff at
Journey Beyond)
And To All
A Good Night.
