No they won't it's the government's promise to open the line. Some of
the MP got elected because they promise to bring back the train, just
like NSW's Broken Hill/Griffith service.

But FA would be benifit with better track condition and hence more fuel
efficiency for its locos and faster turn around time, just like QR's
main line upgrade.

A source suggested this option is too expensive.

By the way I think the study for reviewing country passenger service
(Both governemnt and NX report) is already completed.
