no it's the geography, too hard and bumpy or waterlogged to drill tunnels

You don't have to drill tunnels. The North Shore line isn't on tunnels for the most part, but it also never goes anywhere near the shore.

I guess it's true that now you might need tunnels (especially for the eastern suburbs). But these lines could have been built many decades ago.
