Default High Speed Rail..a Scam?

The Conversation today has a v interesting article on the ? economics of HSR in Oz.
A 2009 study (pre GFC data) from a Spanish university found that each SEAT on Europe's HS trains had to be subsidised to the tune of $A65,000 pa!
That's in a vastly more densely populated area than us!
Paris-Lyon and Tokyo-Osaka are the worlds only profitable train routes.
