It doesn't take much imagination for those of us condemned to travel economy class to feel that we are in a railway cattle car to somewhere very unpleasant.

I just love travelling, Trains, boats or automobiles is all fine by me. Currently VLine has suspended my local train service but providing free road coaches so it could not be any cheaper.
I am going to travel, in retirement, as much as I can, see as much as I can and experience as much as I can.
The rest of you can go down to your local coffee bars for smashed avocado on toast and all have a whine about all us terrible common folk enjoying what should only be for you gentry.
Get over yourselves!
