Anyway I suspect long haul trucks will win out for the medium term at least. Not because it’s the best solution, but because it can be rolled out more quickly. I do hope we pursue rail for the long term good though, and not just for freight but for people moving, particularly as jet fuel takes up a greater proportion of our emissions.
@vividspecter@dgriffith am hoping the same. Problem is a lot of the lines were privatised and now in a state of disrepair especially in WA. Fix them, add a passenger car to every train heading into the country and there you go.
“Without rail, Australia will fail”?
