Labor to spend big on South Coast rail line by axing the F6 extension
people just need to accept there are barriers to a faster rail service and deal with it.

There was a caller on ABC local radio Illawarra who made an excellent point: It takes here 30min to drive from Thirroul to Sutherland (for ~42km @84kph), and 50min by rail (for 48km, or 57kph).
Surely there is *something* in between 55kph and building hyperloop.
WOW this will be a major upgrade to the network and shave a lot of time off the journey between Wollongong and Sydney and points south on the coast. A much better idea than a road in this day and age. Cannot believe NSW is still not learning from their mistakes and are still commissioning plans for toll roads.What we have learnt is that the neither can be ignored and there is not a country in the world building over upgrading roads to a modern standard.

... I have spoken to quite a few of my nsw trainlink buddies and they all agree that nothing can be done about a new line down to the south coast. They all agree that the only way a faster service can be provided is up on the escarpment.
Brighter and better Engineers and Geologists have looked at this area many times and said no its not a good idea.
Those old tunnels are booked out of service and are either mushroom farms or storage facilities. They would never meet modern safety standards and can not be grandfathered because they haven't been in use for nearly 100 years. So that is never going to happen. The issue with subsidence is already happening with the existing tunnels that are still in use and there are significant speed limits in that area.

Simstrain your wasting your time as he does not listen to others points of veiw and will continue to argue the point best to just let it go.
