The government is promising to think about fast-tracking super-speedy trains all over, including Melbourne – Warrnambool. Education Minister and local member (seat of Wnanon) Dan Tehan thinks this is a splendid idea. “Fast rail means faster travel between Melbourne and Warrnambool,” he tweets. But perhaps it’s not great for the government’s push for more students in regions if a fast train could permit students at Deakin U Warrnambool to split their time between town and country.
