Newcastle would be better off serve with faster Interurban service from
Sydney(say can get to Sydney in exactly one hour) and through to airport
or offer simple exchange at Sydney Central for airport line. To
accelerate trains on Newcastle route no doubt would be expensive as Tilt
trains and some extensive track work requires but faster train services
will reduce air traffic congestion pollution and will be comparable to
airport expandsion/runway addition cost.
