This demonstrates there is demand for rail services if it's superior to driving. In this case with cost.
Hopefully the long term response to this will be more services and maybe even restoration of old lines that have fallen out of use in the past 100 years. There used to be rail services going to most towns in the state. It'd be so great to see some of those come back.
Yeah, this is in a way a good sign. Although they should've probably invested in more rolling stock before actually implementing this plan.
Nah man, build demand first, services 20yrs later. It's the aussie way
But make sure the services you build in 20 years are sufficient for the demand now, not for the demand in 20 years
