Well there mightn't be any enthusiasm, but they're putting a rail link in to Sydney
Airport. Better than some other cities, (such as mmmm let me think........oh of course
Melbourne), who are reliant on an overpriced slow bus service, to bring passengers into
a city that is the Major Events Capital of the World (or so our premier tells us).
But who needs a train link to the airport when we should be really looking at building
another freeway to supplement the Tullamarine Fwy and expanding airport carparks and
taxi ranks to cope with extra passenger demand.
