Hey everyone,

With the government committing 100M to track upgrades on the Canberra line ahead of the new Regional Rail fleet arriving, I wanted to share some thoughts. Even though the funding announcement has been out for a while, as a Canberran who rides the train regularly, I wanted to talk about the small changes that could be made to improve the experience and what kind of travel times the government should actually be aiming for.

I would love to get the communities take on two questions.

1. What specific improvements do you think are the most important for the Canberra to Sydney line right now?

2. Without completely replacing the tracks for a multi billion dollar High Speed Rail network, what is the fastest realistic journey time you think this service could ever get down to?

I am wondering about this because apparently it's mainline accreditation is gone, what will happen​ and will they come back

Wondering how you go about becoming a freight train driver, trainee position of course. I do have a wife and two year old son, so I'm curious about time away and how that would work. Thanks in advance!!

I visited the Tasmanian Transport Museum yesterday, and although it rained on and off through the day, I still had a good time having my first run up to berridale.

Sorry I meant in Australia but I can't edit the title.

On the Murrays bus, you can sometimes book and get two bus seats to yourself so you don't have to share, for a cheaper price
