What travelers say:

Going to the Harry Potter train in Melbourne is not really Harry Potter but it really looks like the little train in Harry Potter and the whole experience is great. It is a 50 km drive from downtown Melbourne and an hour's drive from Paphenbilly, which is Victoria's most punch-in value and one of the world's most popular steam browsing trains. 📍 From the train to the track to the staff's dress, there is a feeling of walking out of the space-time tunnel. The reason is actually very simple, because most of them come from the 1900s, when the small train used to transport living materials, now it has been changed to a sightseeing train. The locomotive has maintained its original appearance, and it still relies on coal to generate steam to pull the train, and the passenger compartments at the back have been changed to a semi-open-air structure that can let tourists hang half-out. 🚂 Paphenbilly train has four lines, the more popular is the BELGRAVE to LAKESIDE, will cross the iconic covered bridge, I did this line this time. The one-way trip takes about 40 minutes, and there will be more than an hour of free activity after arriving at LAKESIDE, where you can have lunch. The speed of the small train is not fast, from ten kilometers to thirty-five kilometers per hour, so it is quite safe for people to hang outside, and there is a little excitement when driving to the highest speed. ✍🏻 People on the side of the road will say hello to you during the small train ride. The atmosphere is very good, but remember that when the temperature is not high, you must wear enough clothes and pants. It is still quite cold after the speed is up. During the driving process, the chimney of the locomotive will float out of some cinder debris, and the passengers in both sections will be scattered if they hang outside, but when they go back, there is no problem in the opposite direction. 👉🏻 Remember to book tickets early, single tickets are 31.5 Australian dollars, including trains back and forth, students will have a small discount. It is recommended to pass the magic robe, it will definitely become the most beautiful treasure in the whole venue.
