Thread: High-speed rail for SE QLD?

a great idea with 45min schedule currently mooted.

now, every suburb along the line will want the train to stop there and there will be petitions and it will end up like the non express Brisbane-Gold Coast express trains.

not trying to rain on the parade at all , I think there should be just the 3 stations , after all we don't have stops on air routes do we?

Will it be as quick as the Redcliffe line. How many years and dollars for a short spur line and still not ready. I doubt there is the right political and business mindset to actually pull off a project like this. Hope I am proven wrong though

Well the idea is with the pull from 3 large councils , Queensland Govt and Federal Govt , as a joint effort for funding and infrastructure , it should be a goer.

There would be a lot of engineering companies interested.

I wonder if we could keep it Australian.

All rolling stock could be built here with o/s assistance/advice , just like our subs will be.
