    @largess @AgreeableLandscape @RM_Transit There are opportunities even right now to move closer towards a national standard for rail that are being squandered.

    I mean, right now Qld is building Cross River Rail. Why not build that with dual gauge?

    Victoria is removing level crossings, and SA recently electrified the Gawler line. Why not lay dual-gauge track as part of those projects?

    Victoria is building the SRL, and NSW is building the Metro lines that Chris Minns hasn’t cancelled yet. They’re largely or entirely separate from the rest of the rail network. Why not build them to a new national standard, using standard gauge?
