NSW State Election: Now that the NSW state election is over for 2007 the result is a mixed fortune for the Tweed Rail Society. In brief 1. Neville lost his job because he wouldn't stick up for the local community regarding the Murwillumbah line 2. Labors 2 party preferred margin is only 2% now as opposed to the 5.6% margin it had prior to the election 3. Transport service provision played a big part in the election result. Clearly Iemma is unhappy with CityRail and RailCorp and has given Vince Graham 3 months to fix many of the problems or else heads will roll 4. The Tweed Rail Society will continue the fight to restore the Murwillumbah line for passenger and freight operations. We will seek access as soon as possible to enable us to remove vegetation from the line. Work will continue on the pay bus and we will continue to press government for service reinstatement.
