I left you at Adelaide station as I prepared to board The Overland for its trip to Melbourne, although I was to decamp at one of the Geelong stations where I was to be picked up and whisked home by partner Niki.
The car leg was to save time, as it meant I only travelled one side of an equilateral triangle, rather than two as I would have done had I continued on The Overland to Melbourne, then caught a train back to Ballarat.
I took the higher-grade of travel class, called Red Premium. It gave me a carriage with seats arranged in a 2-1 layout, rather than a 2-2 in Red, as well as meals and drinks included and delivered to the seat, rather available for purchase from the cafe car.
The meals were a breakfast, a mid-day meal, and morning and afternoon teas.
I was allocated one of the single seats and the carriage was full. There were two Red class carriages.
There was a baggage carriage, but there was space overhead and at the front of the Red Premium carriage for other bags.
