Hear from those who are against the truncation of the rail line, and the reasons why we should keep rail running into the Newcastle CBD.
We used to drive into Newcastle at least once a fortnight to paint out the new graffiti on our hunter street building. Eventually we just gave up, as we watched the incredible ascendancy of the anti-progress pro-rail faction. We have, over the last 5 years spent in excess of $200,000 on trying to make our building enhance the hunter st street-scape. Get out of the way Joan Dawson and we will get back on the Newcastle team.
Looks like she actually arrived at 8:49.42 second exactly and was the only person getting of the train at Newcastle….. sure does show a positive reason why the rail should stay !?
Fantastic work Kim Cross & Joan Dawson! We do need our rail. Fantastic way to bring in people to our CBD. Its part of our history – why should we spend more money on replacing something that already works with a light rail?. The money could be better spent elsewhere, for example – a Graffiti removal campaign as per Mike & Judy’s comments – cost would be small and resolve an issue. Other funds could be put towards our local infrastructure to benefit Newcastle local needs. Don’t destroy our city.
