Group calls for major coastal fast rail study
A RAIL research group is planning a major study into an east coast high-speed rail line, which would include links from Newcastle to Sydney and Brisbane.
Rail advocates want the Federal and State governments to pay for the study.
A fast train would transform cities, Cooperative Research Centre for Rail Innovation chief executive David George said yesterday.
Travelling at 250 kmh, a fast train could travel from Newcastle to Sydney in less than one hour.
