The only drawback is that it’s. 20 years too late. Thanks John Howard!

For a minute there I thought we had a new Prime Minister. Misleading subject heading.

Informative video but too much American repetitions of shots not relevant to the line being discussed. Just like the Maldon Dombarton link line project in the 1980's though I can just see some government getting elected on the promise of killing off this project for some simple and minor reasoning such as a few crucial votes in a swinging seat.

Im working on the Albury to Parkes section and its great

Nothing new here as I am from Queensland. Nothing confusing even if all 6 are within 3 suburbs of Brisbane . M means Motorway A means Arterial leading to Motorway Black and White means B route in other states Blue and White shield means C routes Hexagon are truck routes Brown and White signs are scenic or tourist routes.

The states have also duplicated numbers eg M2, A3 etc which seems wrong. This could be solved by having the numbers in a box or shield with the state name on the top like "California 111".

There are so many weird examples of wrong numbering in QLD. Mt Lindesay Highway is often signed as State Route 13, Logan Road is signed as National Route 95 in some place. There are still some Metroad 1,4,3 and 6 signs hiding around. I still here some people refer to the Port of Brisbane Motorway as State Route 42. Not the mention the fact that there is 2 of each state route in Queensland such as State Route 3 on the Gold Coast and in North Queensland. Also for some reason there are 2 State Route 20s in Brisbane completely disconnected from each other. Why can't QLD just go alphanumeric? It's easy make the Mt Lindsay Highway B91, delete the Metroads and make Kessels Road B21 all the way to Victoria Point and Stafford Road A5. Logan Road to become B95, also lineup the Queensland A2 with its NT link the National Highway 66 or A66 if that's what it is now. Thank you for attending my Queensland Highway Number Rant.

what the hell is queensland smoking lol, and the road Department are full of BS, as if they dont have enough Money.

National A1 is fine... A2 = from Tennant Creek 66 A15, M31 part of M80 then M8 to Tailem Bend ... A3 = Seymour A39 Rockhampton and the A20...A3 = Hume/Sturt Interchange to Adelaide and A32 becomes A4... A87 becomes A5 A/M 1 coastal A/M 2 Most direct between state capitals A/M 3 inland routes North/South (Seymour - Rockhampton) East/West Hume Sturt Interchange - Adelaide (GEPPS CROSS) A4 Sydney Parramatta/Liverpool Roads to Gawler via Broken Hill A5 Port Augusta to Darwin Western Australia 94 and 95 become A2 as both routes are the shortest route to Adelaide and Darwin And shared routes eg hornsby Hexham are designated as A1 A2 / M1 M2

Good video, but I think you need more stock videos I feel like I’m watching the Truman show

wow 10 billion that's massive it definitely will never come to light that the liberals lied through their teeth with the actual cost being 30 billion and at least 5 years delayed...

Why not link Bomaderry and Bainsdale and Wollongong to Canberra? Then you get the added benefit of expanded tourism on the NSW south coast and Victorian east coast. At the same time add some tax breaksand funding to regional cities on the rail corridors to take some of the sprawl from Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Special funding should go to the coastal towns and Albury, Wagga Wagga, Wangaratta, etc.

And 'T' roads in NSW, Transurban's monopoly gouging system for executive retirement comfort. As the states can't even agree what shade of brown constitutes a brown paper bag, I wish you good luck with your endeavours .

The official date for completion is 2027, but that is unlikely. The most expensive bit is in Queensland, and that hasn't really started yet.

I live in Seymour and they've already upgraded the lines from here to Melb a couple of years ago.

They should have built a new four lane inland motorway from Brisbane to Melbourne to be used by everyone including electric semis. They could have connected the Hume Highway from Canberra to Bathurst and then to Willow Tree, which would take you up to Tamworth, Armidale and then up to Brisbane with a Toowoomba offshoot. They need to start building a proper insterstate highway system with the addition of Sydney to Adelaide, Melbourne to Adelaide, Adelaide to Perth and Brisbane to Cairns.

would LOVE to see if this investment into freight infrastructure can eventually lead to city centres building terminal markets where the train stops right next to the farm, gets goods loaded right on and travels directly into the city instead of trucks needing to do the inbetween work (would dramtically bring down the cost of produce as well which when it comes to australia tends to have a lot higher prices for groceries compared to the uk and other european countries directly caused by our population spreading out once cars were introduced)

australia needs to improve all of its train infrastructure honestly, but i feel starting off with freight paves a pretty good path to make more efficient passenger rail that beats car speeds, unlike the current situation where going from brisbane to gold coast takes half an hour longer by train when it really should be demolishing the cars in a race

This was the reason for the 2019 bushfires as they line perfectly. I don't forgive the most failed Australian leader known as scomo

The cost could triple and I'd still support it. It's one of only a few good things the previous federal government started.

Anytime the term multilateral comes up, all I hear is corporate lobbyists and special interest groups who play both sides of the left vs right dichotomy

In Victoria there are 4 highways that are National Highways that the Federal Gov Maintain In NSW there are 8 National Hwys in In South Aust there are 4 as well in Queensland there is 4 Western Australia there is 4 Northern Territory there is 3 Canberra is 2 and Tasmania is only 1

Because we don't bother with numbers. We go off there names instead.

Weird how out of all the options my Economics exam said that boosting rail funding would best make Australia internationally competitive

The addiction to double stacked containers really needs to be nipped in the bud as it prevents electrification which will ne needed "soon". When you look at the HUGE air gap between each pair of containers, moving to single stacked where container are much closer does not double train length and also reduces air friction. With ligher load per axle, the train can also go faster because it needs less distance to brake. Diesel railways love them because they dont care about speed or fuel efficiency because they cauyse only about maximizing how mush one crew carries in orde rto cut salaries. But they really need to wake up on the need to move to electrification. If InlandRail had been made narrow gauge, Inland rail would connect all of Queensland to all of Victoria, whereas with standard gauge, it is just industries along the lone standard gauge track in Brisbane servinng same in Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth. It becomes easier to load cargo on truck that doesn't need to be transhipped twice along the way to reach destination. Granted Brisbane will have more efficient shipping to Adelaide and Perth. But doubt Darwin by rail would be competitive vs road due to the long detour.

What load of bull...it will be just a Coal corridor...and I will be homeless..great one inland rail ...

Good info thanks for sharing. Best wishes and cheers.

you know Aussies don't like work

Victoria also has an interesting Highway designation called ‘Alt’ presumably meaning Alternative. The Highway is called Alt 1 and goes from Southbank to Narre Warren. The Highway is adjacent to the M1, not to be confused with the Pacific Motorway. It starts on an Intersection that contains the highways/motorways of A60 and M1 and ends at an intersection containing C101 and M1.

NSW farmer always complaining about something 🤮👎

Need to do a video on the freeways of Australia.

The northern territory only implements alpha-numeric routes on a needs basis i.e. if a sign was to be upgraded. I.e. at present there's some A87 and A1 signs present. WA possible won't implement alpha-numeric routes for the foreseeable future. If they did the Mitchell/Kiwinana Freeway would be M1 and the Grahame Polly Farmer Freeway M2

Australia is nearly 27 million

Let's see what actually happens. There has to be an election by late May this year, and there'll be lots of publicity about this line beforehand. How much will actually be done after then?

Changing the System to Simple Numeric Rote Numbering System would by far be easiest. With all only State Numbering for large metro Highways, Expressways, Thruways etc and National Numbers for smaller longer Highways that travel from one state to another.

Honestly. We need to finally agree on a standard gauge across the nation. It'd be incredibly expensive in the short term, but in the long term could save costs. No more interchanges, trains could theoretically go anywhere across Australia, in the process of transitioning lines to standard gauge we could make them viable for double stacking, more competition for freight costs, more competition for locomotive and rolling stock procurement. Another thing I'd love to see in the Northwest Queensland line connect to the Adelaide-Darwin rail corridor at Tennant Creek. Which then connects QLD directly to SA and the NT. Rather than having to go around.

It’s an Australian infrastructure project. Of course it took twice as long and cost 3 times as much. The amount of red tape and beaurcracy in this country is disgusting. It’s crippling and prohibitive to the country’s development

2 tracks each way for freight and 2 each way on sg and bg for passengers

Comparing Hong Kong and Brisbane in this regard is like comparing Sydney and Wagga Wagga.

"hundreds of trucking being replaced" >being happy about job lost. OOF

Video idea: the political/demographic/financial logistical potential of a new Australian state in North QLD?

Go out to places like Milmerran they don't want the Fkn thing it will flood every time it rains

Yeah the old infrastructure wasn't engineered to suit double stacked containers and some moron decided to heritage list the tunnels and bridges so it can never be upgraded. Although the way land owners are winging about having to accommodate the line (with generous compensation payments)and the government choosing the cheapest options once again (just like 100 years ago)the new line is likely to be a winding expensive prick to operate .

This shits entertaining for some reason

Double stacked is silly. It will reduce potential speed and thwart electrification which should have priority! And what about passenger rail?

But then they'd have to destroy the evidence lol

The volume of trucking movements will be multiplied at both ends of the task but with shorter distances. This will create problems of queing, noise and traffic volumes. It also allows road operation savings and drivers operating company vehicles doing shifts which will make operating the trucks more efficient. So there will be less owner drivers and a movement to owner operators of freight trucking. Drivers can be family based again. Later it would not surprise if a few high speed hybrid (freight and passenger) trains are run as direct overnighters. Great for tourists, backpackers, low income earners and retired people not in a hurry.Some in the truck service industries will go 24 hour as the value will be of sufficient demand locally at major transfer points both city and regional. The benefits will be spread wide. On the other side thousands of trucks every day will not be using roadhouses. However you cant load or unload these 1.8klm trains instantly, so train arrival will not mean the container being available for pickup. When they invest in speeding up load availability and unloading times then the magic will happen. This will be the value system base. With about 50 long crossing loops or sidings the single track of substance will be a great improvement.

Great program.

USA and UK are robbers for over 300 years. Australia is UK colony and USA poodle.
