I should have added that some of the technologies, e.g. Talgo and Adtranz,
can be done incrementally. You start by running diesel tilt trains (e.g.  
Sydney - Canberra) on the existing line at conventional speeds. Then start
upgrading the line, and finally electrify.

The advantage of this is you can be getting income from fares before you
start building, rather than 3 years of construction before the first fare
is paid.

Cheers
David
