David Glynne Jones will present a concept proposal for implementation of an express passenger rail service between Canberra and Sydney, based on repowering of existing XPT diesel-electric trainsets with bi-mode battery-electric traction systems.

The proposal describes how a low-emission Canberra-Sydney rail transit time of 3 hours 15 minutes could be achieved before 2030, using the existing rail route.
