I believe a large section of the NE community totally congratulate the NET for asking very serious questions about the Rail Trail funding from the REZ proponents, ARC and Tf NSW.
There is simply no way the region’s economy, lifestyle and future can exist without a quality freight and passenger rail service.
The region has as many as 100.000 kms of bike trails and tracks that are largely documented. https://www.newenglandhighcountry.com.au/cycling-in-armidale shows the tip of the iceberg.
The concept of Rail Trails in Armidale, Regions and State is fundamentally unsound, based on questionable statistics and absence of KPI’s to report outcomes.
I encourage the NETimes to expose the true facts.
