We are often told that high-speed rail lines cannot be used by freight trains, because of the wear and tear from heavy carriages. That does not seem to apply to the Perpignan–Barcelona route, where passenger trains at 300 km/h share tracks with freight trains.

Can we stop for a moment and question why we are busy destroying some of the last rural land in the #Sydney basin to prevent Mascot airport being "swamped", when #HighSpeedRail Between SYD-CBR-MEL would render 130 flights *every day* to and from SYD largely redundant?
Noise, #congestion, #pollution, land use and #ClimateChange all point to this being crazy. Do we really like the Jetstar experience that much?
