I now realise that China is stuck with trucks as you cannot use freight on HSR but it is a golden opportunity to transition our unemployed coal miners to connect Parrahub to Canberra with a Japanese maglev which would do 700 km/h in a single breathable 11 psi 14 meter diameter tunnel costing $20b and taking five years as stage one of Sydney to Melbourne.
The overnight container trains would beat any truck between freight sidings by 8 hours ready for delivery the very next day charging $1/kg. and earning $20,000,000 per night making daytime fares below planes saving 5,000,000 tonnes of jet fuel per year.
