ALP/Greens deal puts fast rail a step nearer
 The Greens will push for Canberra's inclusion in a feasibility study into a high-speed rail network on the east coast.
Labor has vowed to fast-track the study under a pact with the Greens who decided yesterday to back Prime Minister Julia Gillard's bid to form a minority government.
If it was re-elected, Labor had already promised to spend up to $20 million on a feasibility study into a high-speed rail network on the east coast.

Bligh's challenge to float above the line
If dealing with the future of Queensland Rail was just about money, the decision of the state's Premier, Anna Bligh, on whether to privatise the business or sell it via a trade sale would be easy. That would be comparing apples with apples.
But in the world of politics, there is another currency - staying in power. It means more than money. The original aim of the Bligh government's $12 billion asset sale plan was to raise cash, reduce debt and improve the state's credit rating. There is plenty of solid commercial logic in this.

New passing loop between Broken Hill and Parkes another boost for freight rail
Australian Rail Track Corporation's (ARTC) has continued its drive to upgrade the National interstate standard gauge with the extension of a passing loop at Ivanhoe NSW between Parkes and Broken Hill.
The project cost around $5.6 million and involved ARTC constructing one kilometre of new track with 1850m 'standing room'; long enough to cater for 1800m trains.
The loop required the laying of new rail, signalling, and mainline turnouts.

Council wants assurance over rail promises
The Sunshine Coast Regional Council wants assurances from the Queensland Government that its 20-year public transport plan includes associated links for the region.
Premier Anna Bligh yesterday announced a high-speed European-style train link to the Sunshine Coast as part of her plan.
Councillor Vivien Griffin says it is vital the plan includes the Caloundra-Maroochydore Corridor Study (CAMCOS) rail link, which is proposed from Beerwah to Maroochydore.

Nothing will stop rail line: Brumby
THE controversial new railway line through Melbourne's western suburbs will be built regardless of the findings of any study on its impact on residents and the environment, Premier John Brumby says.
Accused of treating affected residents with contemptuous disregard after revelations the government was trying to limit their avenues for protest, Mr Brumby yesterday refused to take a backwards step.
Asked if the $4.3 billion line from Southern Cross Station through Footscray to Little River near Geelong was going ahead ''come hell or high water'', Mr Brumby replied: ''Too right it is.''

Plan to avoid EES on regional rail link
THE Victorian government has tried to avoid an environmental effects statement into the regional rail link through Melbourne's west.
The $4.3 billion project would build a new line for regional rail services from Little River, near Geelong, to Southern Cross station via Footscray.
The project has been mired in controversy since Premier John Brumby made the announcement last month before residents of Footscray who are likely to lose their homes to make way for the rail link were notified.

Scone rail death mystery
He was a popular larrikin who had spent Sunday afternoon cheering on his beloved Scone Thoroughbreds as they fought to qualify for the local footy grand final.
But within hours, Johnny ‘‘Lulu’’ Lawler was dead after a 7000-tonne Pacific National coal train hit him as he stood on the tracks and leant on the platform at the town railway station.
Police are looking at closed circuit television footage which showed the 46-year-old – a Scone resident his whole life, respected drover and one-time horse trainer – hanging around the station after 2am before getting onto the tracks.
