点评:I recommend this world class train trip at least once. However, it is expensive if you you don't have a car for transfers or a local discount. The company that runs the train is not affiliated with the cable car. Do some research ahead of time. Avoid NSW & QLD school holidays and days when there is a cruise ship in Cairns. We prebooked a Friday and paid in advance. The train doesn't give a discount for seniors and we needed to arrive at Freshwater at 8:30am to verify local residency prior to getting our tickets for the 8:55am Departure. The kids enjoyed looking at the "telephone switchboard" and there are toilets to use before boarding (though there are toilets on the train). Trip takes less than an hour and a half with a stop to get out and view Barron Falls. Fabulous views of Cairns and historic information provided on the journey. We were given window seats which was lovely and it looks like organisers nicely space out the passengers. I've separate reviewed the Cable Car. Which is a nicely paired return trip booked through a separate company. Be aware you will need to pay for transfers or an uber back to Freshwater station if you parked your car there in the morning. Not sure if people with a physical disability could manage the ladder like stairs in our carriage type and the big step from the platform.
翻译:我推荐至少一次这趟世界级的火车之旅。但是,如果你没有车可以换乘,或者没有当地折扣,票价会比较贵。运营这趟火车的公司与缆车无关。提前做好功课。避开新南威尔士州和昆士兰州的学校假期,以及凯恩斯有游轮的日子。我们预订了周五的车票,并提前付款。这趟火车不给老年人折扣,我们需要在早上8:30到达Freshwater核实当地居民身份,才能买到8:55出发的车票。孩子们很喜欢看“电话总机”,登车前也有洗手间(虽然火车上也有洗手间)。行程不到一个半小时,中途下车观赏巴伦瀑布。旅途中凯恩斯的景色美不胜收,而且提供了很多历史信息。我们被安排在靠窗的座位,这很不错,看来组织者很好地把乘客们隔开了。我已经单独评价了缆车。这是通过另一家公司预订的往返双人票。请注意,如果您早上把车停在Freshwater站,则需要支付换乘费或优步费。我不确定残障人士是否能像我们这种车厢的楼梯一样爬上梯子,以及能否从站台跨过大台阶。
