Hardly surprising that Boeing would do that and it
might see them do better than the opposition who
have to pay much more for the aircraft they use.

The State government have new upgrades to faster more comfortable beer
serving country trains coming next year.
So more competition for regional airlines
<https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/regional-rail>
Next year The NSW Government is replacing the ageing NSW regional rail
fleet of XPT, XPLORER and Endeavour trains with 29 safer, comfortable
and more accessible trains for customers travelling across NSW and
between, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane.
As part of the Regional Rail project, we are also constructing a
newpurpose-built maintenance facility in Dubbo.

Not convinced. There is a radical difference in the trip
times and so its only really the povs who use the trains.

We only get the train for the full trip twice a week, its train
to Coota or Wagga and then a bus for the rest of the trip
on the other trips and the bus stops in even the smallest
town en route so its a pretty fucked trip.

29 isnt enough to provide even a daily service to most regional towns.

Nope, driving is still faster and and Rex and QantasLink vastly faster
than both and a decent choice of 10 flights a day each way too.

Not so great for Melburg tho.

The new Regional trains are designed for a speed of 160km/h, which is
no faster than the XPTs they will replace, they are described as
“scalable to 200km/h”, though it is unclear what this means? I would
guess at 200Km/h they officially can then be called VFT's.
The main thing needed for a four hour trip from Griffith to Sydney is
replacing the track with modern rail lines, this is claimed to be
being done? But seems shared for Freight so that is why a present two
times a week schedule

“We expect these upgrades to be completed by the end of the year, just
before Christmas.”

Fixing Country Rail is a $400 million program unlocking the economic
potential of regional NSW by upgrading rail lines to deliver more
effective rail freight movement. So far 33 projects have been funded
through Fixing Country Rail.

So get onto your Snout and trotters in trough to push.

But the regional lines can't do anything even remotely like that.

The Sydney Melburg line can't either.

The XPTs dont run on regiional lines.

Pity about the rail lines.

Just more mindless waffle.

Not when the rail lines can't do anything even remotely like that.

Not even feasible and given that there are only 2 services
a week compared with 10 a day by plane, still useless.

> this is claimed to be being done?

Only by fools. Our line has been upgraded but for heavier
freight trains, not higher speed passenger travel.

> But seems shared for Freight

All lines are.

> so that is why a present two times a week schedule

Nope, that's due to most choosing not to use rail.

Fuck all are silly enough to do that from Sydney to Melburg or BrizVegas,
let alone Adelaide and Perth and Alice Springs.

> “We expect these upgrades to be completed by the end of the year, just

But won't see anything even close to 200 KM/H

Yes, but not PASSENGERS.

That stupid cow is an independant and hasnt got a hope in
hell of getting re-elected. She only got elected because she
was in the Shooters Fishers and Farmers party when the
Nats decided she was of no interest to them and she got
kicked out of the SFF when she went behind their back
conniving with the greens and flouting SFF policy on water.

> Don't let NSW just stand for Necastle, Sydney, Woolongong.

It never has. We have always had a liberal in the federal seat
except when Broken Hill was in the electorate and we go that
utterly corrupt drug panderer, Grasby elected for a while.

Nope, she gets ignored in NSW parliament.

She doesnt even get invited to the opening of anything.

Not possible given that she is completely irrelevant.

Thats what the stupid voters attempted to do when they elected
the SFF canditate, after the Nat member had delivered a massive
hospital upgrade and a massive set of sports stadium upgrades.

The SFF might concievably got something done about water
which is by far the most important issue here, given that the
govt of NSW only has a marginal majority. But those fools
choose to ignore that issue and didnt even bother to show
up in parliament when that issue was up for a vote.

Npw that they kicked her out of the SFF, she is completely irrelevant.
