The Blues Train - Queenscliff, Victoria

5/4/25 We had an absolutely fantastic night on the Blues Train! We had had to wait for 5 years for the experience as we had previously booked in 2020.....
Anyway, finally we managed to get 7 of us together and it was fabulous!
We started with the meal. I feel the directions could have been clearer, but there was enough food when I got there (larger men in our party would have preferred seconds/larger portions). The meal was tasty. We had beef, chicken, carrots, mashed potato, salad, a bread roll, and coleslaw. Dessert (lemon tart) was too sweet and the only option, which was disappointing.
The music in each carriage was great. My order of favourites would be B, A, D, C but others in our group had different favourites. Something for everyone. Anna Scionti amazed us all with her cigar box guitar skills 👌 👏 🎸
It would have been nice to know about the drink package options beforehand, to have been able to choose ahead rather than work it out in the queue, but we managed!
We're so glad the Blues Train survived after 2020!
P.S. nice to have security in each carriage, especially when a few people got a bit tipsy! There wasn't any trouble, just merriment, but nice to have their presence for 'just in case'!

Fantastic night out. Great food, music and concept plus the novelty of it all happening on a train. Well organised and good communication on the night and beforehand. Wear comfy clothes and shoes - you are on a moving train! Don't hesitate, just book it!

What a fun and unique experience! Amazing organization by the Blues Train team. The dinner was delicious. The musicians were top notch. It was fun moving from car to car at each stop to see the next performance. Room to dance or sit and enjoy the music. An absolutely energy charged environment. Great to share with friends and family. We highly recommend and will be heading back ourselves. Books out quickly!!

We did the lunch show & we can’t wait to go again. The train ride was amazing, the musicians were very talented & played a variety of blues. The buffet food was very tasty and nearly all options were gluten free. The catering staff and the train staff were so friendly & helpful, even on a 35.deg day.
Make sure you book accommodation early, took us a while to find something.

First time travellers Saturday night!
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by all the crew! The food was delicious & the atmosphere was awesome. Now to the artists, each carriage was unique but all so incredibly talented & without you guys there wouldn’t be no Blues Train!!
Such a fun night …. Definitely a must do
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such an awesome time on the Blues Train this weekend just gone. Our group traveled down from Melbourne and it was well worth the trip. All the team were incredibly friendly, the food was amazing and the the atmosphere was electric. We got to experience four incredible artists play four unique performances.

I'd recommend this this experience to anyone who enjoys live music, trains or trying something new.

This was a night I will remember. But the food and eating of our lap were low grade. I don't know why they didn't have more tables. The music and train were so awesome. We left happy. But the start of the night needs a lot of improvement. It might have been better having a meal at the pub before. I felt food was being stretched out. Not enough tables and chairs.?
