    I wish I could be optimistic on that. We have a fixed rail system with very little room for improvement. For example, how many trains can you put in a single 'one file' line? We are not like other countries in which the rail network looks like a spider web with a lot of room for improvement, ours is just elongated branches coming out a centre.

    When it comes to the Illawara line for example. If I want to get to the Sutherland shire, on average is an hour trip yet we re geographically not far fro the city. However there are so many stops on the way that makes the trip long. On top of that, since it is one line each way (as most of our rail lines are), there are ony so many trains you can have on it. That makes it difficult to envision a proper solution since our rail network had such little foresight in its design for growth.
