They may not all ride trains daily, but well over half of those surveyed know and care about losing access to Newcastle, our ‘Beach City’.

Direct rail there is barred to us because the government is busy transferring that gift from us all, to a few owners maybe, for a while.

Is it for a few bucks in the coffer?   

No; all bucks are lost; our Port money is to buy destruction of our rail and of the Hunter Street shopping zone. 

Poll voters see mass transport amputated, confiscated, alienated, stolen. Closed.   

They know it’s wrong. They see through  ‘light rail’ waffle. 

They see crammed streets since rail closure, around the city. 

They see withering business in East Newcastle, whose accessible beaches offered us coastal recreation, health and tourism jobs.  

They see the insanity of this.  

It’s clear that mode-change kills transport, and the freedom to move.

It’s a pity the government reflects little of the same insight.  

Shameful that minorities, the disadvantaged, deprived and under-resourced people have to extend themselves to fight government’s real masters: scoundrels who defy ICAC, world design standards, and evidence.

Save Our Rail has done an impressive job in simply continuing to tell the obvious truth. 

Against us all are people obediently working at public expense to betray our property and access, and to take the ‘Beach City’ from those who have fewest options. Officially protected, these people are removing our youngsters’ clean jobs, our health amenity, families’ rail days out, the security of the city through working stations, and our teens’ safe independence.  

Do they realise they are even cutting off Newcastle’s regional market: us?   

The economy there is apparently dwindling as predicted.   

But the government ploughs on, knowing it is wrong to do so. Tell your story.  

No need to wait for polls, to let government know that we want our intercity railway back to Newcastle Station.
