 Good Morning, Today id the 1st of September, 2020. This Write up is about the Dundee Railway Station, located in the GNR Line North of Glen Innes and Yarraford.

A Further Update on the Stockinbingal Railway Station.

Good Morning, Further communications with a Resident from Stockinbingal has set me straight on the situation regarding the Station Building/Buildings. Photo Sourced from Wikipedia, Taken by Bidgee. There are several reasons WHY a Restoration Project has not been put in place. It has become an Ugly Duckling if you like. Nobody wants it. But that is not true. The people of Stockinbingal, ( Population around 200 ) want to restore it, But do not not have the capacity to proceed with a Restoration Project. The Transport Minister says it is ARTC's responsibility. The Local member says it is the NSW Governments Responsibility. So you see it is all about Buck passing. It could be Restored if a Group of Government departments, both State and Federal, got together and formed a Working Party  to make it happen. The LVR group could be invited to join up and the Canberra group could also be invited to join up. So you see there is light at the end of the Tunnel. The Ironic part of all this is, I...

I had an email back from his Office explaining the Situation a little better than what I understood it to be. The Station is owned by the NSW Government. Any requests for repairs should be directed to the Transport Dept, is my understanding. I have been advised the Lease ARTC has is only for Operational Management. The Railway Line in front of the Station has been seconded to the Inland Rail Project. So you see it is my understanding that it is Andrew Constane's responsibility to see that the Railway Station is repaired. Your write up has lots of holes in it, There is no responsibility for John Holland as far as I am aware. And you have written my name in it whic...
