The paper addresses managing the land transport effects of population growth and network congestion in Australia, this paper outlines the need by the mid-to-late 2020s for new major urban rail capacity projects to be completed such as Melbourne

For freight, it makes the case for constructing an inland railway between Melbourne, Parkes and Brisbane and improving the East-West rail corridor to North American Class I railroad standards. Regional rail networks linking grain areas to ports will also need upgrading, and more gauge standardisation will be needed. The benefits of new and improved rail
infrastructure will include less road congestion, improved safety, reduced dependence on imported oil and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Bringing HSR a step closer: Building a Railway for the 21st CenturyScott Martin, CMILT
This paper explores an incremental approach to providing a Medium Speed Rail (MSR) network with trains operating up to 200km/h. This will allow progressive enhancements toward a HSR solution rather than the currently recommended ‘big bang’ approach. The paper identifies changes required to produce a healthy intercity rail network to complement a successful HSR network using the Sydney-Canberra corridor as a case study.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. Growth Boosting Railway Upgrade
Recently the Parliamentary Information Office of the Parliamentary Yearbook has
been reporting on the Government’s plans for railway upgrades including plans for
High Speed 2. Improvements to our transport infrastructure will form part of a major
feature in the next edition of the publication
More than £9 billion of growth-boosting railway upgrades across England and Wales –
representing faster journey times, more reliable services and capacity for 140,000 extra daily
commutes by train – have been announced by Transport Secretary Justine Greening.
The full £9.4bn programme of improvements to the rail network published yesterday will
meet the needs of intercity passengers, commuters and freight up to the end of this decade
while the Government continues to work on High Speed 2 to deliver rail capacity for the
British economy in the decades to come.
This “High Level Output Specification” programme for 2014-2019 will be discussed at today’s
meeting of the Cabinet which the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister will hold outside
London.
Crossrail, Thameslink, and electrification between London and Cardiff, Manchester to
Liverpool and Preston, and across the Pennines, are among £5.2bn of projects already
committed to during 2014-2019. New schemes totalling £4.2bn unveiled today include:
Upgrades to stations and tracks creating enough capacity around cities for an additional
140,000 daily rail commutes at peak times. In addition to Crossrail and Thameslink,
announced previously, today’s enhancements – such as the £350m lengthening of
platforms at London Waterloo station – will provide capacity for 120,000 more daily
commutes in and out of London and 20,100 extra daily commutes across Birmingham,
Leeds, Manchester and other cities.
Faster journeys and more train capacity from £240m of improvements along the East
Coast Main Line from the North East down through Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and
Cambridgeshire to London.
The creation of a high-capacity “electric spine” running from Yorkshire and the West
Midlands to South Coast ports allowing more reliable electric trains to cut journey times
and boost capacity for passengers and freight. This comprises: an £800m electrification
and upgrade from Sheffield – through Nottingham, Derby and Leicester – to Bedford,
completing the full electrification of the Midland Main Line out of London St Pancras; and
electrification of the lines from Nuneaton and Bedford to Oxford, Reading, Basingstoke
and Southampton.
The landmark decision to take electric rail beyond Cardiff to Swansea, completing the full
electrification of the Great Western Main Line out of London Paddington at a total cost of
more than £600m, and electrifying the Welsh Valley lines, including Ebbw Vale, Maesteg
and the Vale of Glamorgan. These will give two-thirds of the Welsh population access to
new fleets of electric trains helping to generate Welsh jobs and growth by slashing
journey times and boosting passenger and freight capacity.
Completion in full of the “Northern Hub” cluster of rail enhancements with the approval of
£322m of outstanding track and capacity upgrades across Manchester city centre,
Manchester Airport and across to Liverpool. These are in addition to £477m of Northern
Hub schemes already approved across the North of England such as electrification of
the North Trans Pennine route between York and Manchester.
A new £500m rail link between the Great Western Main Line and Heathrow allowing
direct services to the airport for passengers from the West Country, the Thames Valley
and Wales.
The HLOS package will be funded in part from fare rises already announced in 2010 and
also from the substantial efficiency savings which projects like electrification will have on the
long term operating costs of the railways.
2. Transport Secretary Justine Greening said:
“Investment on this scale, in every region of the country, shows how this coalition
government is focused on delivering an affordable, reliable and faster railway network that
drives jobs and growth.
“These plans to increase capacity and shorten journey times on intercity, commuter and
freight services are, alongside our plans for high speed rail, absolutely key to securing our
country’s prosperity in the decades ahead.”
The investment was also applauded by the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Prime Minister David Cameron said:
”From Crossrail, high speed rail and now the billions of pounds of investment we are
announcing today, this government is committed to taking the long term decisions to deliver
growth and jobs.
“In what is the biggest modernisation of our railways since the Victorian era this investment
will mean faster journeys, more seats, better access to stations, greater freight links and a
truly world class rail network.”
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg added:
”This is the biggest expansion in railways in over 150 years, with more than £9bn of
investment across the country.
“Whilst we inherited a deficit greater than any in our nation’s peacetime history, we knew that
we had to give the country the boost it needs, to build great railways and make journeys
better for the millions of hard working people who use the train every day.
“The ‘Electric Spine’ will make a significant difference for passengers linking London, the
Midlands and Yorkshire in a much more efficient rail line, connecting the South and North
more effectively than ever before.
“As someone who cares deeply about the environment, the opportunity to dramatically
expand rail, a greener form of transport than aviation or road is very exciting indeed. This
investment will help people to choose trains over cars, reduce carbon emissions and provide
a rail system that is faster, more reliable and greener.”
And Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said:
“I am pleased that the Northern Hub will be funded in full as part of the Government’s plans,
which is a significant boost for the major towns and cities of the North, helping to rebalance
the UK economy and enabling growth and regeneration throughout the regions.
“This Government is making more funds available to invest in rail projects than at any time
since the Victorian era, and shows that the Government is committed to delivering on its
promises to support investment in public infrastructure that will support economic growth.”
We shall be adding to the article as there are further developments and any changes to the
plans will be reflected in the content. The full report will be published in print and online in
the next edition of the Parliamentary Year book.
