Spanish train manufacturer Talgo has offered to fund a $2.5M passenger rail trial in the Adelaide Hills and is calling for State Government support.
The express service between Mount Barker and Adelaide could run within 45-minutes, compared with an estimate by Infrastructure SA of 71 minutes.
Former transport department staffer and prominent advocate for rail in the Hills, Luigi Rossi would help deliver the project, along with aerospace engineer Edwin Michell.
Mr Rossi joins Jennie Lenman in this podcast to discuss the proposal.
