There was a short item on ABC Newsradio this morning about a suggestion to
relocate Perth airport out of the suburbs. A new airport would be built
south of Perth, possibly near Dandalup, and would be linked to Fremantle
and Perth by a fast electric train "like the one to London's Heathrow
airport". The cost of the new airport and rail link would be more than
offset by the sale of the existing airport land.
The item was thin on detail and there's nothing on the ABC web site. Have
any sand gropers heard anything about this? Dandalup is less than an hour
from Perth on the existing Australind, so a 160km/h express could more or
less halve this.
Cheers
