And your point is?
As for the proposal where in the article does it mention the airport? All I see is it talking about Geelong to Frankston. This seems to be a reaction to a report by Rod Eddington (ex Ansett, ex BA) to build some new lines in Melbounre including a new tunnel under the city. People need to stop and think why the Transrapid Maglev only has one customer so far? The reason is because in theory it is good, but in practice not so easy, not so cheap and not as reliable as more traditional forms of transport. Funny how now they are quoting a speed of 250KM/h, when they were proposing Syd/CBR/Mel and SYD/ Wollongong the speed was 500km/h. Traditional steel on steel can do 350KM/h+ on a properly designed track, and on non dedicated tracks can do 200km/h again if designed right.
