They'd be better off Replacing the 30 yr Old XPT (& other regional Trains). with something from this century.

A direct train service to the new Badgerys Creek Airport should be Top of the Agenda....IMHO.
Apparently there is a replacement coming for the XPT. They could set the new ones up to entice business people to travel, plug in points and WIFI etc so they can use their time while travelling.
Greyhound coaches have it.

On Badgerys Creek, I could never understand why they didn't convert Richmond RAAF base into Sydney's second airport given there is already a perfectly good rail line to Richmond. I can remember the RAAF saying they were going to relocate at some stage somewhere else.
