INLAND RAIL MELBOURNE (VICTORIA) -BRISBANE (QUEENSLAND)

Inland Rail is a 1,700 kilometre rail freight line that directly connects Melbourne (Vic- toria) and Brisbane (Queensland), without going through the Sydney network. The project, which ends in 2030, is descri- bed as “priority” and the Government has allocated to its development an entry of 8.4 billion Australian dollars (7.545 billion euros). The aim is to provide a service to compete with the roadways, with the option of carrying out this journey in 24 hours effi- ciently, safely and more economically. The branch includes improvements to 1,200 km of existing tracks and the construction of a further 500 kilometres through regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Furthermore, access will be made to the ports of Melbourne, Port Kembla, Sydney, Newcast- le, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Trains can

In order to replace road traffic, investments will be used in the next ten years to boost the railroad as a solution, both for goods and passengers.

The railway sector The national railway system, exclusi- ve property of the State, consists of a 1,067 mm wide network in the North and South Islands. The services are mostly for freight rail, especially in bulk and for import and export. The only two cities with urban networks are Auckland and Wellington. In addition, there are some tourist lines, though of minor importance.

Investments In the 2019 budget, an allocation of 1.042 billion New Zealand dollars (599 million euros) was approved as the first step of planned rail investments in the next 10 years. This amount includes 331 million New Zealand dollars (190.2 million euros) for improvements in roads and other infrastructure until the year 2021; 375 million New Zealand dollars (215.5 million euros) for new rolling stock , as well as another 300 million New Zealand dollars (172 million euros) for works in different regions. Also, an entry of 534 million New Zealand dollars (307 million euros) has been earmarked to continue with the urban project “City Rail Link” in the city of Auckland.

It has gone from public funds (of European origin) to having several concessions in urban transport. Although, in high-speed, medium distances and commuter rail networks, State management of projects continues to be a feature in most cases. The concessional framework has allowed the development of railway infrastructure of great complexity in record time (project, expropriations, works, service start-up) even with advanced deliveries on the scheduled deadlines.

Examples in Spain This model first came into use in the nineties, on the line of the Arganda del Rey Metro in the Community of Madrid. Later it was applied in the tramways of Barcelona. Other flagship examples are the Metropolitan Rai- lways of Malaga, Sanchinarro, Seville or the tramways of Parla, Alicante, Murcia, Tenerife and Saragossa, along with the extension of the Madrid Me- tropolitan Railway between Vicálvaro- Arganda and Line 8 to the airport. Similarly worthy of special mention are the commuter rail stretches between Móstoles-Navalcarnero, yet it was in 2010 with the Extraordinary Infrastructure Plan (PEI) when there was a turning point in the model used so far over long distances and opened the gateway to PPP formulae.

IDOM actively participates, internationally, by providing technical, legal and financial advisory services in the definition, structuring, development and management of this type of initiatives. Thus, IDOM has assisted the Guatema- la City with the MetroRiel project and, currently, among others, the City of Al- maty (Kazakhstan) with their LRT, and the one in San José de Costa Rica with the current Rapid Train project.
