$125 million won't buy a lot of corridor in Sydney. Litagation alone over
the noise and polution potential of such a line could chew through more
than that. !

 Look how far the 'One Nation' project got with its Enfield access project.

 They would have to built the line sub-surface and make it electric traction
only. That aint going to happen.
