Re: Another study 'will scuttle fast train'

It would be a lot easier just to extend the outer tracks on the East
Hills line all the way to Revesby/Panania/East Hills, then tunnel north
to Bankstown Airport.  It wouldn't be hard for the new lines to be
built with high speed operations in mind and the intended traffic on
these lines (Southern Highlands Railmotors, the TGV (?), Express
Suburbans) shouldn't be much of a hindrance to the speed of the yo-yos.
