How will the absence of a direct high-speed rail link to the CBD affect passenger travel to and from the airport?

Passengers will rely on a combination of the delayed airport metro to St Marys, followed by the T1 heavy rail line to Central Station, adding significant travel time. Road travel via the toll-free M12 motorway will be an alternative, but potentially congested, especially during peak hours.
