A day ago I caught Queensland Rail's Westlander service from Toowoomba to Queensland, I didn't really enjoy the experience, it was slow and the train was dirty. Today however, I'm going to catch the fastest train in Australia and indeed the fastest narrow gauge train in the world: the Electric Tilt Train from Brisbane to Rockhampton. The train reached a top speed of 210km/h (130mph) during its test in May 1999. This is the only train that has ever surpassed 200km/h in Australia.

The Tilt Train was last renovated in 2017, it's now equipped with Wifi, overhead TV and powerpoint/USB ports. I'm quite looking forward to this experience today, let's jump onboard!!
