investment isn't the only drain. High speed rail has to be maintained well beyond any level we currently build in this country. Lets face it we aren't capable of maintaining the level necessary and money will always have to be pumped in to keep this level and then to make the train viable you need to price the trip the same as a plane trip.Spain and California are what will become of high speed rail in Australia. Spain is probably worse but the line cost a fortune and continues to drain the public purse.
investment is the only drain ... at least California has started the project ...
