Keep the North East Tasmania Railway

Keep the North East Tasmania Railway

The issue

We, the North East Residents and Farmers Inc. vehemently oppose Dorset Council's plan to tear up 63 Km of rail line, assessed as 95% fit for purpose, and create a cycle trail for those fit enough to use it..We have the rolling stock and are ready to open the line using not one cent of public money.  How good is that? We serve 100% of the community and tourists, not just the 16% that ride bikes.
