@michcampbell @ajsadauskas.bsky.social Definitely.
And I think the first step should be to upgrade the slowest sections and bring in tilt trains.
If we can get it to 6 hours, we should aim to increase it to a half hour frequency from 6am to 7pm, 7 days a week, followed by multiple overnight sleeper services. With half hourly connecting coaches meeting those trains.
I think that would be a game changer in terms of rail patronage, as well as for cities like Albury–Wodonga and Wagga.
That would build out the demand that would justify an incremental upgrade to HSR.
