High-Speed Rail Authority investigates $18.9bn Newcastle-Sydney bullet train project.
The High-Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) is investigating the construction of a bullet train between Newcastle and Sydney, with test drilling at 35 meters under Newcastle. The Authority is focusing on a dedicated line from Broadmeadow to Sydney's Central Station, with the federal government considering a decision by the end of next year. Estimated to cost $18.9 billion (2013 figures), the project aims for a one-hour journey between Broadmeadow and Central via the Gosford CBD, with potential stops at an intermediate station at the southern end of Lake Macquarie.
