Not so fast – fast train to Canberra – 25 April 2017

The headline in Fairfax Media read:
“Andrew Leigh urges NSW government to support Canberra to Sydney high-speed train”
We need to get beyond the headlines.
“High Speed” is a relative term.
The latest proposal on the table is not a very fast train with speeds of 300km/hr or more on a special track.
Rather it is s “fast” tilt train on the existing alignment with perhaps some upgrades.
