What they forget to mention was the Demondrille - Blayney line that is also
going to completely re-open now that work on replacing the damaged timber
bridge (at Holmwood I think?) is underway.

Lets just hope that the re-opened lines generate enough traffic to warrant
the re-opening, and heaven forbid, we might actually see *new* passenger
services operating on some of the lines! 8-)
