High Speed Rail Link and the Illawarra

The local WIN news is talking about the possibility of Australia finally getting a high speed rail link across the East Coast of Australia linking Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane. I am hopeful that this could happen, though I pray that CityRail are not involved in any manner.

CityRail have a proven track record of under servicing the people of New South Wales generally and the Illawarra specifically. I am concerned that if CityRail are involved in providing/maintaining infrastructure for a rail link of national importance that it would lead to major national disruption.

That said, the idea is a good one. A national high speed rail link will open up regional centres along it to expansion. Further, the idea of being as close to Canberra as Sydney is a good one for me personally. It opens up job opportunities and also would cut my commute in half. I will be looking into the technical aspects of this idea in more detail when I can, but the idea is good.
