Ever since seeing the Tyco Super Turbo Train commercial as a child, I have been dying for a High Speed Rail Network linking Australian Capital Cities.
Furthermore after admiring the speed & efficiency of the ICE train around Germany, I have become a complete advocate of the proposed Melbourne to Sydney High Speed Link.
February 2010 I attended UFC 110 at Acer Arena Sydney Olympic Park, having traveled from Geelong Victoria, The round trip involved a 3am wake up call, and arrival home just after midnight, in other words an immensely long & tiring day for a 2.5 hour event.
The reasoning behind this was the available flight times & required Check in periods prior to and fro. The Interlinking public transport from home to Airport, Airport to Venue and so on...
Initial thoughts that passengers could fork out less than $100 per ticket, travel at +350kph and arrive in less than 3 hours blows my mind!
Yes this would be one hell of a expensive logistical challenge given the recent fall in our economy, but I feel the benefits alone should be merit to push this through parliament as soon as possible, and get the construction ball rolling.
