@davidjmills67 @AHCouncil @ARC2350 @MayorArc @LGNSW @destinationnsw @NSWNationals @LiberalNSW No government will touch your proposal with a barge pole! The words of Adam Marshall MP during last year's election campaign. Nothing has changed, you still haven't demonstrated majority support, let alone overwhelming support. Councils are wasting ratepayer funds!

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

@davidjmills67 @NERTinc @RailTrailsAus Rail trails are inclusive? What about the inclusiveness of those who want their trains back not their railways ripped up for bike tracks?

The Armidale / Moree bound Xplorer service captured from a passing train at Farley (near Maitland) on 11 March 2023. The train will divide at Werris Creek. The Armidale portion should be continuing beyond Armidale!

@davidjmills67 @AHCouncil @ARC2350 @MayorArc @LGNSW @destinationnsw @NSWNationals @LiberalNSW The Government report has no supporting data, is opinion only and carries a disclaimer that admits that it is a work of pure fiction!

@NERTinc @railtrailsrock @RobStokesMP @PaulTooleMP @SamFarraway You've spent thousands of hours broadcasting BS. Shifting entire corridor to LGAs serves nothing but a cost transferring exercise. People can be active without ripping up railways. And NSW can move, move on reinvigorated rail transport!

It’s vital the railway north of Armidale is reopened. Not torn up for a bike track.

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

The incongruent and flippant response of Armidale Regional Council to formal submissions received that support reopening our railway and / or object to rail trail proposal. See:
https://t.co/e1qcfv6pFM

Our community wants trains not our railway ripped up!

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

@lou_conway12 @RailTrailsAus @davidjmills67 And from the US is the growing trend of Rails-with-trails. A far less controversial compromise that is available in #NewEngland but out-rightly rejected by the rail trail proponents!

@davidjmills67 @The_Nationals @Barnaby_Joyce @guyrajack How would ripping up our railway for a bike track facilitate transport, infrastructure and security?

[Andrew Fraser @AndrewF08196592]

@MatthewGTierney @SaveGNR Please support this cause, for the current and future transport requirements of northern NSW, don’t remove important infrastructure.

The e-petition to save the Main North Railway through Glen Innes is closing on Monday. Please sign if you are a supporter of trains for the Northern Tablelands of NSW.

This 'suggestion' appearing in #Armidale Regional Council #rail trail documentation typifies the council's poor position on the issue and the contempt it extends to the majority who oppose the #railway destroying bike track. See our post:

@trainbuff77 @nrrcnsw @NERTinc @ScottMorrisonMP Any income will not go to the Councils at least according to the NERT Plan. Only the operational and maintenance costs are to be their responsibility!

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

And the Mayor's response was to shutdown comments on his original post!

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

Armidale Regional Council via Mayor Sam Coupland, offers scant regard for public ownership of rail corridor with it only being just a preference? See our post:

The #railway destroying agenda of Armidale Regional Council and Glen Innes Severn Council would disastrously thrust #NewEngland into permanent dependence on #road #transport!

@davidjmills67 @PaulTooleMP Number 1 box on any rail trail proposal is to show 'Overwhelming Community Support'. You are yet to do so! Ripping up railways (that the majority want reopened for trains) for bike tracks is no way to build regional NSW! #nswpol

[Save the GN Railway @SaveGNR]

@davidjmills67 @railtrailsrock @PaulTooleMP @stuartayresmp @SingletonArgus Fortunately Mr Mills, in regard to #NewEngland, you don't actually speak for the majority. You have never proved the required 'overwhelming community support' to rip up our #railway for a bike track! In fact, reopening the railway has majority support.
