ABC Radio National: Urban Rail

Railways are being planned and built all over the world at an enormous rate, and not just in big cities either.

Every Australian state has priority rail projects but it is how to get them funded that's the problem.

There's a sense that the road still rules when it comes to transport and infrastructure spending.

Radio is booming!  Can't say that about much other MSM ....  paywalls will finally see them rendered largely irrelevant ...

This is a good segment on ABC National, quality.  Just confirms how out of touch Abbott and his advisors are.

They still might see the light ...  light rail that is  ... LOL
