澳大利亚在经过数十年的规划之后,接近了首条高速铁路的发射,一条悉尼至纽卡斯尔的铁路线。 Australia nears launch of first high-speed rail, a Sydney to Newcastle line, after decades of planning.

澳大利亚可能即将启动其首条高速铁路, 总理安东尼·阿尔巴内斯(Anthony Albanese)准备发布悉尼至纽卡斯尔线的商业案例, Australia may be on the verge of launching its first high-speed rail, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese set to release a business case for a Sydney to Newcastle line, a potential first step in a larger east-coast network. 这一愿景正在形成几十年,源于对1983年的火车慢速感到沮丧。 The vision, decades in the making, stems from frustration over slow train speeds dating back to 1983. 虽然澳大利亚没有高速铁路,但日本的Shinkansen和法国的TGV等国际例子显示,这种系统是可行的,以250公里/小时或更快的速度在专用轨道上运行。 While no high-speed rail exists in Australia, international examples like Japan’s Shinkansen and France’s TGV show such systems are feasible, operating at 250km/h or faster on dedicated tracks. 由于地理和成本,挑战依然存在,但势头正在增加,标志着澳大利亚最接近实现这一梦想。 Challenges remain due to geography and cost, but momentum is growing, marking the closest Australia has come to realizing the dream.
