Or Bankstown. Unfortunately they're not even considering my personal
preferred option - Richmond after the RAAF moves out.

Speedrail means that Badgerey's can be postponed for about another 50
years.

Quadruple track Wolli Creek Junction - East Hills will probably go ahead
regardless. If Speedrail goes ahead, the new fast lines will carry TGVs.
If Speedrail doesn't go ahead, they will be used by airport express trains
running through to Badgerey's Creek.
