The NSW government is reviewing country coach routes and timetables.

Public consultation is open until Friday 14 February 2025, with changes coming in 2026.

If you live in, or travel to, a town that's underserved, now is your chance to have your say.

Personally, I would want to see the slowest sections of the Sydney to Melbourne train line upgraded to be a 6 hour trip, as suggested by Philip Laird.

I would increase frequencies to be at least one service every 30 minutes.

And then I'd run half hourly coach services that connect with the train.

Sydney-Melbourne rail upgrades...

@ajsadauskas.bsky.social I was just thinking about this yesterday. I think MEL-SYD is both one of the most frequent plane routes, and one of the most profitable. It'd be awesome to offer an alternative.

@michcampbell @ajsadauskas.bsky.social there was actually a pilot by @TalgoGroup to use pendular #trains to reduce travel times, but it got rejected
