In this episode, we take a brief detour from the aviation discussion to talk about train travel! There's something nice - perhaps even romantic - about long-distance train travel. Around the world there are lots of famous train journeys such as the Orient Express and Trans-Siberian Railway, but there are also a couple of famous trips right here in Australia. This episode features an interview with an AFF member who has just completed one of them; the Indian Pacific train from Perth to Sydney.   Episode contents: 0:58 - Fortnightly news round-up 8:22 - The world's most famous train journeys 11:29 - Long-distance train travel in Australia 16:33 - Interview with klm597 (a.k.a.
