24.01.2022 Hyperloop v HSR - - - - Anthony Albanese says, and leaving hypothetical tech such as Elon Musk’s Hyperloop to gestate for a while before looking to it as the answer to Australia’s transportation solution. A LA company has suggested the Hyperloop could solve our distance problem, floating the idea to a parliamentary inquiry.

21.01.2022 The Greens and Labor have been very quiet about the Federal Government funding for a high-speed rail line between Melbourne and Shepparton. They are both on the record for supporting high-speed rail, maybe it’s only when it suits them? What do you think about a 35min high-speed rail line from Shepparton to Melbourne? https://infrastructure.gov.au//trai/faster_rail/index.aspx

20.01.2022 Hour for hour, there's no better way to warm the planet than to fly in a plane! - - - - - - - - - - - - "A Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney-Brisbane very fast train should be obvious for Australia. Why not?" Asks Crispin Hull "This week I (Crispin Hull) travelled at 300km/h on the very, very fast train from Madrid to Barcelona. It covered the 625 kilometres in three hours, an average of 208km/h. This included four or five stops on the way.... The train goes to and from the centre of each city every hour in the main part of the day for $65 with more legroom than Qantas business class, free wifi and a quality dining car. The distance is not much less than the distance between Sydney and Melbourne. Madrid's population is 3.2 million and Barcelona's 1.6 million, much lower than that of Sydney and Melbourne. Spain's median income is about two-thirds that of Australia. Australia's approach to transport is quite maddening. If we are determined to be so stupid as to allow massive immigration that stresses our environment and infrastructure can we at least apply some intelligence to deal with the consequences. Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese said a very-fast train should be a no-brainer. He told The Sydney Morning Herald conference on population and settlement that Australians' quality of life will become worse unless we deal with public transport. The Coalition virtually junked Federal funding for public transport when it came to power in 2013. It moved it to roads and airports. The only rail it is interested in is the inland rail to move freight to and from their mates' farms. State Governments are struggling to deal with the consequences."

04.01.2022 No wonder Allan Joyce and Qantas have no love for SYD-MELB High-Speed Rail! - - - - - - - "Billion-dollar flight: Qantas' route named world's second most-lucrative Fairfax Media. Qantas alone operates approx 65 flights a day on the Melbourne to Sydney route. Is this further evidence there is capacity for a high-speed rail even with our relatively small population? TRAVELLER STORY: World's highest revenue flight routes: Qantas' Melbourne-Sydney route No.2 on the list. The Mel...bourne-Sydney route is not just one of the world's busiest, it's also one of the world's most lucrative, according to new figures. Aviation industry analysts OAG identified Qantas' Melbourne-Sydney route as the second-highest revenue route in the world, reaping more than $US800 million ($1.1 billion) in revenue over the past year. It is beaten only by British Airways' New York to London route, flying between New York's JFK airport and Heathrow. OAG said the top 10 routes were all high-cost operations, combining large aircraft with high frequency, citing Qantas operating about 65 flights a day on the Melbourne to Sydney route. In addition, the most lucrative routes also tended to have a high proportion of business travellers, who typically will book later and pay more for their flights increasing the revenue on the routes despite the high operating costs.
