Been thinking about it, and here's my serious concept for building a third new transcontinental rail line this century

Inland Rail 2: a vast, 900 kilometre, largely greenfield freight and passenger alignment between Adelaide, SA and Wagga Wagga, NSW via Mildura, Vic

Compared to the previous version this adds the line to Victor Harbor, a spur to ASC, creates a Riverlea to Port Adelaide frequent rail connection, formalises tram connections with my other map and that's about all.

The core of the A & B lines would have trains every 10 off peak, with every 20 at their splits. The H line would run a 2 tier local and express, both every 15 minutes and the O line would operate every 20 minutes.

On the regional network, trains to Whyalla would operate 4 times daily, Broken Hill daily return, Barossa every 60 minutes, Victor Harbour 6 times daily and Melbourne 2-3 times daily (Medium Speed HSR level of service).
