Construction is said to begin in 2 years. The train could be running as early as 2039, which means probably some time in the 2040s.
Then they can start thinking about a high-speed line to Canberra or Melbourne, which if we’re lucky will be operational by the 2060s. Until then, there’s the XPT, the Spanish trains that replace it (which hopefully someone will have ordered sleeper carriages for) and possibly a successor to that.
