Region. Fast rail service proposal 'sound'

Following the rejection by the NSW Government of the fast train proposal from the Sydney CBD to Penrith, Michael Easson, leader of the Western FastRail consortium, wants it back on the table. "Some ideas never die because they are sound. Western Sydney needs better transport links. A high-speed link to Penrith ought to be part of the answer to Sydney’s beleaguered transport system. Any government worth a candle would examine that need regardless of whether we have a cracker of an idea or not,” he said in The Sydney Morning Herald. The Government claims the service would be too expensive to extend it from Parramatta to Penrith.
