In this issue

Retiring Australasian Railway Association CEO Bryan Nye fired a parting shot at Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, describing his refusal to fund urban rail projects as “myopic”. The severe weather that swept across New South Wales in April created havoc for rail in the Hunter Valley, with dozens of coal trains literally stopped in their tracks. On the political front, not even Inland Rail – the Australian Government’s “poster” project – received any additional funding in a federal budget that proved disappointing for Australia’s rail industry.
