Yeah, long distance trains here are unfortunately not great. The main plus is leg room but unfortunately there's moderate chance you're stuck behind a bogan so you don't get anything. The lack of power outlets is shocking. Last I was on the XPT was in 2010 and only up to Canberra, I honestly preferred driving.
The trains are OK for distances like Syd<>Canberra.
I'd for sure drive the Canberra trip. I'd drive the Sydney one too if parking my car for 11 days wasn't a huge expensive issue!
