Australia nears launch of first high-speed rail, a Sydney to Newcastle line, after decades of planning.
Australia may be on the verge of launching its first high-speed rail, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese set to release a business case for a Sydney to Newcastle line, a potential first step in a larger east-coast network.
The vision, decades in the making, stems from frustration over slow train speeds dating back to 1983.
While no high-speed rail exists in Australia, international examples like Japan’s Shinkansen and France’s TGV show such systems are feasible, operating at 250km/h or faster on dedicated tracks.
Challenges remain due to geography and cost, but momentum is growing, marking the closest Australia has come to realizing the dream.
