Journey times could be slashed by up to 75 per cent as the NSW Government unveils a high-speed rail network.


Here’s what is proposed:

A northern route: including the Central Coast, Newcastle, Taree and Port Macquarie

A southern inland route: including Goulburn and Canberra

A western route: including Lithgow, Bathurst and Orange

A southern coastal route: including Wollongong and Nowra.

Trains on these routes would reach speeds of up to 200km/h and slash journey times by up to 50 per cent says  Rico Merkert, Professor and Chair in Transport and Supply Chain Management at the Sydney University Business School.
