Extending the 1995 Canberra Tilt train service to Melbourne could have alleviated the need for an airport at Badgerys Creek! The overseas air services could have used an extended runway at Newcastle's Williamtown airport! Upgraded roads (for Badgery's Creek) funds could have been redirected to fund rail upgrades for an initial 7 hour tilt train to Melbourne!(Sydney to Melbourne has the worlds 5th busiest air corridor) Huge improvements for all train services on the main southern line would have happened such as travel times & millions of litres of diesel p.a. saved because the rail distance to Melbourne would be reduced 100km!
