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.

2 all stop trips a day. A lot of the trip time is spent at stations. More trips and express like services? Booking a seat is an issue as most seats seem to be booked by people closer to Sydney so more services are needed.
