You put a train line into Tulla airport then a lot of people will be out of work...not a good way to win voters over in the affected industries...
Train down the freeway to Doncaster...got problems there with the connection points where the preferred end of line is Doncaster Hill and not the park and ride bus terminal, there is an engineering issue with a steep tunnel that would need to be built and that is going to cost big dollars.
They were also talking about the inner connection point being Fairfield station...not ideal either.....only 2% only of car drivers would be expected to leave the car at home and jump on the train.....Donny residents like their comfy Mercs and BM's..
Total Cost was seen as a max of 5 Billion.....and they want public money as part of that cost.......good luck with that one.....
The signalling system also need s a full upgrade....thats a massive cost..
