0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>That went off last night at Marvel Stadium. He brought

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>out the Irish band that is Ed Sheeran here on

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred lars. You mentioned earlier he snuck into

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne via train, Yeah he did.

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>He was filmed getting off at Southern Cross station. And

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>when I say he was at the station like he'd

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>come from Sydney to Melbourne on the train a local job. Yeah,

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>no plans for him.

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, Roger Weeks is from the New South Wales train link.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>He joined us now morning Roger.

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Jace, Lauren and Clint how are you good?

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>We're good now, Roger edge shear And there were some

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 2>people saying it wasn't him on the train, it was

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a decoy. It was definitely him though. Wasn't it the

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>court the train from Sydney to Melbourne?

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 3>I can absolutely confirm it was it.

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 4>Now, what happened?

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>How did this come to be? Well?

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Ed and his family when they're on tour. As I

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 3>was chatting with them, they love catching trains. They are

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:59.279
<v Speaker 3>really probably for two key reasons. Obviously it's got a

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>lower iron mental footprints and traveling by road by air,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's just a nice way for them to spend

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>time together in the family. So they were really excited

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>as they were walking through and we got them onto

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 3>the XPT.

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 4>So Roger, what's the how long is the trip and

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 4>sort of what sort of amenity? Yeah, tell us about

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 4>the carriage. Was they lay down by? What's the bedding

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 4>like all the rest of great?

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Good. So it's just under eleven hours for our

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Sydney to Melbourne service, So it's that nice opportunity to unwind.

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's sit back and relax. And in our overnight service,

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 3>of course, we have sleeper cars. In our first class carriage,

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>which is where the shearings were, we have separate cabins

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 3>and so by day you can sider it the seat

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and then when it's nighttime, our crew come in, pull

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>a bunk bed down, turn the bottom of seed into

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>a bed.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't even know this existed.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we have showers and toilets for eleven hours.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Did he have the whole family there?

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>He did?

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>It was really nice.

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Was the food cart in operation?

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 3>So we have a buffet train.

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>You buried the league.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 3>You can have a dinner of butter chicken. All An,

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>you're a class.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what he had? To eat.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Look, we don't he may have had a bite to

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 3>eat before he came. People can have their choice, they

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>can some people bring their own food, but the buffet

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>is very popular.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And so were you sworn to secrecy that you couldn't

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>tell anyone about this until afterwards.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Because you know broken that now he's one.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Of the most famous people in the world, and it

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>was just like incognito.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 3>That's right. I mean, we protect the privacy of all

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 3>of our passengers, but in this instance we did have

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 3>some requirements to make sure that Ed and his family

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>had had a safe, secure and private trip down to Melbourne.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 3>I understand the concert last night was fantastic, just as

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 3>you'd expect.

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>He had a good night's sleep on the Trene and

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>there do we know he was in the bunk beds.

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love that.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And was he a good passenger?

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Great? Because they're such nice people. They are They're

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:27.720

<v Speaker 3>excited about, you know, meeting our driver and look.

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>You know what they were really clear about this was

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 3>their family important to protect the privacy.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.000
