The federal government is putting $50 million towards priority upgrades to the Canberra-Sydney rail link, with the ACT and NSW governments each contributing $25 million.

The upgrades are expected to improve the travel time between the two cities, which currently takes more than four hours.

Upgrade works are expected to commence this year and be ongoing for up to five years.

Be nice if they had a more convenient rail terminus than Kingston too

It was a pain running my suitcase a few dozen blocks from the bus stop when the last train out to Sydney's almost gone.

The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.
