What new terminals?? There is only going to be 1 new terminal whoch will be off the domestic and they dont even know if they will have internation flight departing it. And the runway is already completed and has been for quite awhile. As for the international terminal they are already at capacity but are not adding any new check in counters!! So don't know how they will be bringing more people in. Maybe via Sydney or Melbourne... 😂

Ok thats cool 😎

Northside is paramount - cycleways should be included in all Metro routes too.

In a few words “state government corruption”.

I hope this project actually happens as it is simply too painful to travel in Oz atm. Hope the government can make sensible choice by choosing a capable company with proven cases of success.

Chinese creative !

It is imperative that the rail lines be a dual / pair and not a single line - because then many trains can concurrently run in both directions. It is also imperative that all rail radii (bends / curves) be greater than 4000 metres (so these trains can safely travel at over 250 km/h) - and it would really help if they used a "Wide" rail gauge of 8' 4" (2540 mm) - to match width 10' 0" (3040 mm) width rail rolling stock (which is standard these days) and not the narrow 4'8.5" (CE 1846 UK "Standard") gauge that was engineered for 6' 0" width rail cars but pressed into service with 8' 0" rail cars - matching the width of Bullock/Oxen Drays. With this "Wide" rail gauge the trains could then very safely run at over 350 km/h all the way.

Delusional if ya think it's going to make freight quicker and cost less.!!.

How will it be paid for?

If you believe that sales pitch than you will believe there is pixies in the garden. None of it is connected and Carlingford as the termination point is so inefficient. It should have carried on to Epping. Where the Transport options are greater in destinations and transport options. At leas there other ends at Olympic Park. But can say it is better than the road train here in Brisbane, I mean the very expensive Road Metro that gave the people here a present of Road Train Trucks now running around on AB double Routed Roads.

The cost of the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed rail in Indonesia is $80 million per kilometer. A budget of $368 billion will build 4,600 kilometers of high-speed rail, which is much more useful than some used high-quality nuclear-powered submarines. The distance from Cairns to Perth via Melbourne and Adelaide by road is over 4,400 kilometers. The main obstacle will be land acquisition and high labour cost (no worries, the robots are coming).

I live in Moreton Bay Shire of Brisbane 50km from the CBD. How is that not Brisbane 😂

*TOTALLY WORTHLESS TRASH FROM TOTALLY WORTHLESS TRASH.*

Nope. complete waste of money and time. Stage 2 is going to olympic park - why..?? - when metro west will get you there 10x faster

All due to the ill management of our country by the Labour Government. Once we get rid of these termites I'm sure the whole project will get back on track, so to speak. Greeny problem will be gone after next election [ I hope ].

I heard that China very fantastic !

Thankfully its a bus .. as its always been stated as such!!! Whats the problem with that?

Gamer changer for what??

We did have a good rail system stretching across Australia but it has been mothballed it is very good news to see that we are getting back to using more rail infrastructure this will serve our country for years to come congratulations on this project

LMAO its a glorfied bus! I'm a bus identified as a tram hahah

Australia had a high speed rail plan before the mad monk got in power and automatically doubled the price

It's because, like the US, Australian governments side with the vested interests; fuel companies, car manufacturers & airlines. It isn't a matter of logistics or geography, a train line already exists for fucks sake.

The answer here is very simple really. It is not economic because of our small population.

This sounds similar to the Melbourne rail tunnel.

i was on on 1 day

Another con...the carbon footprint falacy has been concocted by money hungry scientists and pushed on us by ignorant politicians. Carbon or Co2 is essential for life. Trees and plants absorb it and emit Oxygen, it's called photosynthesis. Do some homework on this subject and you'll learn that we are being conned!

Regardless, Parramatta has always been and will remain Sydney's anus.

Transit fans finally have SLOP channels 🎉

Bush fire. Gum trees are fire hazard worse than lithium batteries...

Airline monopolization in Australia is the problem.

No it won't. I'm skepticle.

It's not IMPOSSIBLE... Australians just like to make excuses...

Should've gone to Carlingford Court shopping centre and onto Epping after Carlingford Station.

Simple answer. geography

i don't know why people still think a melbourne-sydney HSR is worth discussing let alone building. a 900km line between 2 cities of 5/6 million each with little in between will never stack up economically even if the terrain is easy, which it certainly isn't from Sydney to Junee at least. If you don't believe that, take the ride. Air travel is the way to go in Aus, and it already does a very good job, and is much more flexible and efficient in getting ppl from A to B, M or X.. less flights and larger capacity aircraft would help environmentally between the big centres

It is a real joke as Australia would spend aprroximately $400 billions on nuclear sub but fing it too costly to build high speed rail linking Sydney and Melbourne. Wake up Aussies as you have been conned by US.

Easy answer. Lobbying from private self interested parties who support particular Conservative governments re, road haulage for freight, which then affects The viability of an improved or new rail network for passenger mostly. Combined with the current stupidity of our current state government By buying new updated inter city trains, capable supposedly of 160 km speeds When the infrastructure is crumbling , and especially the trackwork. Climb aboard a fancy new carriage, and take just as long, or longer because of deteriorating track work to complete your journey. Has anyone recently had a look at our Northern Rail link near Urunga and Coffs Harbour. To call it third world is too much credit. For now, forget high speed 200 km rail Sydney to Newcastle, with new tunnels, feasibility studies, problems with Land acquisition,it won't happen in our Lifetime. Inspect track ,, realign, straighten where possible, camber the tighter curves , And invest in tilting Rolling stock like many overseas countries. Now, you need a decent timetable to mix express and stopping journeys. No use catching a modern fast train that stops All the way from Sydney to Newcastle. Maybe have to compromise for now by one stopping first half of journey and another stopping second half. Commuters are big percentage of revenue. Maybe install passing loops at regular intervals. Relatively cheap option. Out of hours majority of runs virtually non stop , major stops Only. Every hour? Now stoppers can fit inbetween . Food for thought?. Reality. Thanks Howard

After decades of delay, Australians should realise that if the interstate high-speed rail project "needs" to be done, an independent federal institution must be established, and a corresponding law is also required to protect the existence and authority of this federal institution from being easily abolished by the new government if they are not happy with the high-speed rail project. To achieve this, a series of legislations should be successfully performed within 1 or 2 federal terms, and the first term must have the pro-HSR party in a majority government. But what are the real circumstances? Some Australians obviously don't believe such a future-proof project is "needed." Therefore, no major party will be brave enough to proceed with the abovementioned steps since the majority government will be in danger at the next election. In addition, a critical problem with Australia's tax system might be a hurdle for this project. Australians pay their income tax and GST to the federal government, and the federal government then divides the tax funds back to each state and territory through some mechanism. I'm not sure if it will happen, but some people on the West Coast will probably worry that their tax funds could be used to build the high-speed rail while the high-speed rail makes no sense for them since they're living too far from the rail line. This is a fundamental tax-related problem when the federal government wants to support projects that will cost a lot and benefit only some people living in a particular area.

Too expensive for such a small population.

Population and cost matter to build high-speed trains. Now it is time to think about new transport if the above matter - skypod / unit string transport.

1st

I bet the tunnel won't help near as much, as it's made out it will do. The issue has been and all will be for a long time - The Burnley Tunnel. What shortsightedness we had on this project...and no pretty green lights will help it.

The video raises some great points as to why HSR has never succeeded in eastern Australia. Namely population, cost and geography and short political terms. HSR is a major investment and not going to be done over a short 3 year period. I question the car culture - city centric state governments love them yes, but the people I personally wonder???? Cars and roads are safer today, but the licencing system, driver education and training and in turn the open road speed limits are simply not up to scratch, and city centric state grubernments like it this way in my opinion to raise cheap easy revenue off the roads. By just blaming $peed kill$ every chance they get, for every accident (weather speed actually is or is not the problem is not in my opinion an issue for city govts). In reality if $peed really did kill - then i would be dead, why because i have litterally done that much speeding. Rural Australia is still very open and empty. I am very open to straightening the curves from Sydney to Melbourne which could shave the train travel time from 11 hrs to 6, I have heard. Meanwhile Australian population continues to grow. Maybe in time we could then seriously consider HSR. When that time is depends upon our politics, But i seriously question if the lnp will be taken seriously by Gen Y and Z, without a faster travel, lower cost, more environmentally freindly transport policy, than just planes. HSR would allow new land in regional areas to be opened up for housing. I am very open to taxing the fossil fuel industry and big business more to get such national investment.

In Europe, high-speed lines were built by state-owned railway companies. With private companies, we would still wait and wait ...

You do know we’re already getting a Sydney to Newcastle high-speed rail route, right..?

single track high speed rail with passing loops like las vegas HSR

I'll tell you why. Leadership in Australia is all talk and no action. People make stupid excuses as to why it cant be done.

Can’t see Australia getting fast rail in the next 100 years. Unless we get the Chinese to build it like they did in Indonesia. Maybe in three or four decades, who knows what the world will look like then. I travelled through China on their FT which were efficient, cheap and super clean. But then they have a population of 1.4 billion

The other biggest problem why big business won't get involved would be the indigenous claiming they own it. If something like a Shinkansen or TGV were built people would use it over planes.

The first priority is underway being Sydney to Newcastle, with Sydney to Goulburn and Goulburn to Wagga Wagga improved to 150kph capable speeds enough to make a huge benefit.
