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, Inland Rail have made claims to Helping Communities along the line, but for some reason are not interested in helping with the Stockinbingal Railway Station.

There are several Railway Stations around the State that are in a similar situation.

I wonder , if in the future this will change.

Good Morning, Today is Saturday the 18th of January, 2020. For the past few years I have been investigating the Possibility of Extending Regional Rail Services in South Australia and New South Wales. In the process I have copped a lot of Flack, but all I am trying to do is give a Passenger service to the people in Rural Australia. In March 2019 I contacted UGL. Ian Pendlebury is the person I spoke to about building a new single Railcar which are driveable from Both Ends. From the emails, and, a Phone conversation I had with Ian, it was pointed out to me that it would be too expensive to have a New one built. He suggested that I contact a Manufacturer who has Railcars already in Production. I contacted Bombadier in Melbourne, but they did not answer my email, so I will need to try and contact them next week. In the last few weeks I have been putting together information about the possibility of running a railcar from Casino to Lismore and maybe further on. In the last ...
