Transport Board rejects Sunday road service to Adelaide
Freer and Beott operated Burra to Riverton rail link was discontinued after the Transport Board refused a Sunday road service to Adelaide. Freer & Beott filed for permission to run a direct Sunday service from Burra to Adelaide via Riverton, but the Board cited lack of rail coordination and potential impact on railway traffic. Mr Scott urged alternative travel options for Mid North residents, while the Board waited for a possible return of Sunday railway services.
