Rail service curtailment sparks debate over northern mail split
The Railway Commissioners consider ending the Glen Innes to Tamworth portion of the Brisbane mail, forcing passengers between Glen Innes and Tamworth to use the Brisbane route. Critics say the move wrecks convenience for Manilla and Armidale travelers, creates long waits at Tamworth, and argues for a leaner, light-rail option or a two-division plan to maintain adequate service between Sydney, Tamworth, Armidale, and Wallanarra.
