Article: The Hydro Express: Take a train trip back in time to the Blue Mountains by Caroline Gladstone
“As I open heavy doors and brace myself as we swish and sway, I pass ladies in their finery, a few gents in spiffing suits and fedoras and meet singer Greg Poppleton serenading passengers in the front carriage. Poppleton is a well-known swing band leader and key performer at the Great Art Deco ball held in Katoomba's Carrington Hotel during the festival. Today, minus his band and old-style megaphone, he's singing tunes of the 1920s and '30s to a rapt and certainly captive audience as he moves from carriage to lounge car.”
