Re: Canberra apartment buyers told light rail will get them to the city in 10 mins.

Since the money promised by one political party (and not by the other) is
now off the table, it might be a bit longer than ten minutes.

I'm a little confused though. I was in Canberra a few weeks ago and
coincidentally, cough, stayed in a hotel near the tramline. Does anyone
here have any idea why they used concrete track, rather than open ballast,
or open ballast with a grass surface?

Maybe they could use open ballast track with grass surface on the proposed
extension. It might save the $100m lost on Saturday, plus looking more
appealing is likely to get approval from those who are concerned about the
visual impact so close to Parliament House. Any list members have some
knowledge here?
