High-speed rail in Australia has been under investigation since the early 1980s.〔(Crikey - BZE: How we found high speed rail to be commercially viable )〕 In 2013 the Australian government released a study on the implementation of high-speed rail on the east coast of Australia, linking Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, and Brisbane. Some have advocated extending the network to Adelaide or as far as Perth.〔 Infrastructure Australia has yet to make an initial assessment of the project. In 2010 the Australian government announced the 20 million detailed feasibility and corridor study to determine the economic viability of, and identify potential routes for, a high-speed rail network on the east coast. The first phase of the study was completed in 2011, projecting a financial cost for high-speed rail of between $61 and 108 billion, depending on the route and station combination that was selected. The second phase of the study was released on 11 April 2013, finding that the project would cost 114 billion, and be fully operational by 2065. The Australian rail speed record of 210 km/h was set by Queensland Rail's Tilt Train during a trial run in 1998. This speed is just above the internationally accepted definition of high-speed rail of . ==Overview== (詳細はmass transit without dependence on imported oil, have a duration of travel that would compare with air travel or be quicker, and would reduce national carbon dioxide emissions. Over 12 million people live in the Sydney–Melbourne corridor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High-speed rail in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
