Since Marulan now effectively doesnt exist as a station , ie no safeworking 
capability, (no refuge loops either for that matter.), and neither does 
tallong, the sections are now Goulburn - Medway - Wingello (can switch out on 
weekends) - Bundanoon (can switch out on weekends) - Exeter (always in ) - 
Moss vale.The dismantling of the refuge loops in my mind seems a terrible 
thing , as effectively its the railway admitting its never going to see a 
significant  increase in traffic on this line .
