The New South Wales state government has commissioned a study of four preferred corridors for high speed rail services, which it believes could transform travel patterns on regional routes radiating up to 300 km from Sydney.

According to Transport Minister Andrew Constance, ‘in the immediate future, faster rail would see upgrades along existing rail alignments and provide services of at least 200 km/h, slashing journey times by one third. Ultimately, high speed rail would see the development of new alignments, providing speeds over 250 km/h, giving the potential to cut travel times by up to 75%’.
