June 2018

As of June 2018, we are waiting for the results of Armidale Regional Council’s commissioned feasibility study. After some debate, it was eventually decided that ARC would spend $50,000 on a study which would look into all possible use cases for the corridor. Glen Innes council also contributed $10,000.

A small study was carried out by AEC to roughly assess the viability of bringing the railway line between Armidale and Tenterfield into an operational condition.  You can view the findings of that study here: AEC Study Results

Note: Contrary to the above report, the line remained in service until 1988. This study stated a closure date of mid 1970s.
