About: High-speed rail in Australia

An Entity of Type: High-speed rail, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

High-speed rail in Australia has been under investigation since the early 1980s. Every Federal Government since this time has investigated the feasibility of constructing high-speed rail with speeds above 200 km/h, but to date nothing has ever gone beyond the detailed planning stage. The most commonly suggested route is between Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, which is the world's second- or third-busiest air corridor. Various corridors have been proposed for a potential high-speed line. The distance between them is around 800 km (500 miles), which requires very high speeds to make trains competitive with air travel.

  • High-speed rail in Australia has been under investigation since the early 1980s. Every Federal Government since this time has investigated the feasibility of constructing high-speed rail with speeds above 200 km/h, but to date nothing has ever gone beyond the detailed planning stage. The most commonly suggested route is between Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, which is the world's second- or third-busiest air corridor. Various corridors have been proposed for a potential high-speed line. The distance between them is around 800 km (500 miles), which requires very high speeds to make trains competitive with air travel. The Australian rail speed record of 210 km/h was set by Queensland Rail's Electric Tilt Train during a trial run in 1998. This speed is just above the internationally accepted definition of high-speed rail of 200 km/h (124 mph). The Transwa WDA/WDB/WDC class, V/Line VLocity, XPT and the diesel and electric Tilt Trains operate at a speed of 160 km/h in passenger service, which qualifies as higher-speed rail. (en)
  • 澳大利亞高速鐵路（英語：High-speed rail in Australia） 為澳大利亞規劃中的高速鐵路工程，早自1980年代就啟動興建案評估。澳大利亞政府2013年公布興建評估報告書，計畫連結墨爾本、坎培拉、悉尼和布里斯班等澳洲東海岸城市，全长1,748公里。部分人士則主張路線應延伸至阿德萊德或延伸到澳洲大陸西岸的珀斯。然而當時澳大利亞政府基礎建設局，並未就興建計畫進行初步的可行性評估。 2010年，澳大利亞政府宣布，將投入2,000萬澳元來進行詳細的高速鐵路可行性評估與路廊研究，以評估確認興建的經濟效益以及東海岸潛在高鐵路廊網絡的規劃。 第一階段的可行性評估在2011年完成，當時評估認為，興建費用可能約610億到1,080億澳元，這取決於所選擇的路廊以及沿線設置車站數量。 第二階段可行性評估報告在2013年4月公布，報告中列出了更詳細的高鐵興建費用，預估將高達1,140億澳元，预计2027年动工，2058年完工，2065年完全营运。建成后，布里斯班到悉尼2小时37分钟（797公里），悉尼到墨尔本2小时44分钟（824公里）。 澳大利亞鐵路的最高時速，是1998年昆士蘭傾斜列車實驗的210 km/h然而這僅達到國際公認高鐵定義的200 km/h（120英哩）時速的「下限」。 (zh)
