Premium Content Subscriber only A rally will be held in Casino on Wednesday in an effort to get trains back on the tracks. But the new not-for-profit company hosting the rally, Northern Rivers Rail Ltd, also wants a walking path built alongside the rail line. Their idea is to gain a "large number of members from our region and beyond", who will make donations to help pay for new recycled plastic walking paths. Secretary Lydia Kindred said the plastic pathways were "environmentally sound". "This in itself prevents thousands of tons of plastic from going into landfill," she said. "They are Australian made, in Victoria and South Australia, and can be built over low lying parts of the track and will be more enjoyable to ride on for cyclists and more comfortable to walk on than bitumen or concrete.
Premium Content Subscriber only A new company with a mission to save the Casino to Murwillumbah railway line will host public meetings at Lismore and Casino this month. Northern Rivers Rail Ltd is a not-for-profit company which has been registered to help get trains back on the tracks. Secretary Lydia Kindred said there was “widespread concern” about plans for a rail trail and what that would mean for the future of train services. Public meetings will be held at the Casino RSM on Wednesday, February 10, from 6pm, and at the Lismore Workers Club on Wednesday, February 17, from 6pm. “One very environmentally-sound option that many are advocating for are recycled plastic raised cycle/walking paths, to be built beside the railroad tracks,” Ms Kindred said.
Or should we get on with building the rail trail? A new company, Northern Rivers Rail Ltd, has been established in an effort to get the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line reopened for trains. They will host their first public meeting this week. But the issue of what our rail corridor should be used for continues to divide our community. On The Northern Star's Facebook page, readers were vocal with their opinions. On the pro-train side, Doug Moses wrote: "I remember travelling from Murwillumbah on that train back in 1958. Train was ancient, carriage letting rain in everywhere, but the country scenery was beautiful, making it a thoroughly enjoyable journey. Wish the proposal well."
