Not the Really Fast Train?!
Why do projects like these take decades?
Genuinely curious.
Go with the Japanese
China should win it. They have the best track record lol. 45,000 km of high speed rail and they can do the job at half the price and twice the speed of western companies.
Is it election time already?
Chicken tenders???
Anyone but Europeans North Americans. If they submit a tender, just bin it. It needs to be either China, Japan, Taiwan or South Korea. That would be my order of preference.
Do not trust the Spanish! They messed up the slow rail in Sydney
Don’t care who, just build it. In my lifetime, preferably.
Very excited for them to um and ah over this for 23 months and 29 days, then select some European bid led by some guy from Transport for London.
JAPAN JAPAN LET JAPAN DO IT THEYRE THE FUTURE WITH TRAINS
I guess they have to do a feasibility study next?
Is this really happening?
Go with Japanese, The most reliable and safe high speed trains in the world
新幹線一番！
Pick the cheapest so we’ll have to eventually pick the most expensive to do it properly
Let’s go with the French and then change to the US and dick ourselves over.
Stupidity. We’re in debt.
Japan Japan Japan. It has to be. They are known for their bullets, they will do it right. Don’t fuck this up please!! I don’t want another Myki fucken headache in my life. Literally the worst system because our ego took over intelligence

Which one is the cfmeu building, JA wants to know.
Meanwhile I’m in Italy and they have a great network of high speed trains going all over the place (in the north anyway). It’s mind blowing coming from Australia. Even their regional buses are frequent and cheap.
They should just get Lyle Lanley! He’s sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum, it put them on the map!
I’d also like some free money for something that won’t be built
Use the Chinese one.
Industry best practice points to the Japanese.
It’s got to be Japan – they have that shit down pat
I’m high af… I thought u were talkin bout chicken. Man…
Can someone explain to me why we are building HSR from Sydney to Newcastle, before building one between Canberra (or even Melbourne) and Sydney? Surely the geography this way is much harder to navigate, for less benefit?
Australia really is just five fucking seasons of Utopia on repeat.
It sure put north haverbrook on the map.
Just get it done. Introduce some new infrastructure laws that give government stronger land acquisition powers. Force owners to take the market value before their lands were chosen for the hsr.
