Is this the fast train, very fast train, tilt train, ski tube, tram, light rail, scalextric or monorail? Like successive (not successful) Governments, I am very hypoxic! This announcement is for the fast train, and it is not an election stunt despite the election happening in March. I believe her as lots of miracles happen at this time of year.

Breathe deeply everyone, it will take another few years although we will all be taken for a ride before the trains are running fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem in Sydney is that NSW state governments have turned a great deal of harbourside property from commercial docks and such, into multi-million dollar real estate developments. To the great profit of their mates, and without any concern for future requirements. As a result, the only land left that could be used as a cruise terminal belongs to the Federal government and the Navy doesn't want to give it up. You'd have to wonder why they should have to make up for the fecklessness of NSW governments. So the cruise community is left with such substandard options as White Bay and Botany Bay. Greed and development, the Sydney curse. Not really true. If you looked at the Harbour as I do everyday from a point high up in the Easter Suburbs, you’d see that plenty Harbourside land is actually unoccupied. It is a national park. It would be difficult to claim that land back for commercial use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted December 9, 2018 #182 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Doesn't appear to be much of a useful side near to the existing OPT. You can see the harbourside land on sail past and there isn't a lot that isn't commercially built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
