Catching trains in melbourne.... - (Wednesday, July 13, 2011)

I think that Australia really needs to invest in a high speed rail linking Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

The existing rail services between Australia's major cities are slow, infrequent, and can be more expensive than air travel!

The situation at the moment at Melbourne airport is ridiculous - there is no train to and from the airport, the car park is the largest car park in the southern hemiphere and super expensive, and taxi's are crazy expensive.

High-speed rail is being rolled out in countries across Europe, the US and Asia as a way to link up major cities, reduce congestion and battle pollution. I was recently in China and went on the train from shanghai airport to shanghai, and it was incredible. I've also been on the bullet train in Japan, and it's a fantastic way to travel. Super fast, safe & quick!

What do you think?
