No it isn't going to be demolished. It will certainly be closed in the
coming year but then it will form part of a signalling and safeworking
museum which will utilise the signal box and the disused substation behind
it. Stay tuned for exciting news on this front. This project is being
supported by the SRA as well as the Heritage Commission of Institution of
Engineers, the Hornsby Shire Council, the ARHS and the Signalling Record
Society.
