Current travel times between Sydney and Newcastle were recently acknowledged by Infrastructure NSW as being slower than the prewar Newcastle flyer steam train. When will the Central Coast see a true high-speed rail service to take the pressure off the many thousands of commuters who have to spend long hours away from their families each day?
