Imagine a train trip from Brisbane to Melbourne taking just a few hours. Sitting down and reading the paper and sipping a coffee while travelling at 260 km/h down the Eastern Seaboard. With apparently bi-partisan support of the incumbent Government’s announcement yesterday that they were investigating the viability of a high-speed rail network, it all sounds great. The initial feasability study will look at Newcastle to Sydney, with the ‘long-term’ plan being the rest of the East Coast. But is it all just a pipe-dream?
