What a good idea to reopen loop for train rides and service by museum trains from mainline into thirlemere and return

Extending the current section from Thirlmere to Buxton through to Colo Vale, not to the mainline. The section to the mainline has been continuously open.

The only thing that has changed in the last 10yrs is the fences at the Courijah level crossing, some weed killing and the placement of sleapers at Balmoral and Colo Vale. I don't want to be a wet blanket here but they have been talking about doing this since 1987 when the line was closed (well, services suspended) with the huge amount of money wasted when it was "Train Works", I'm suprised the museum is still going! I would love to see this actually completed, it would be a great boost to the local communities but I'll believe it when I see it.

Quite right, the small amount of work undertaken on the line so far would indicate that there in no urgency in getting the line to Colo Vale opened any time soon. Pity as the whole area needs some revitalizing particularly after the fires of 2019/2020.

You are the wet blanket, work is well underway with sleeps laid and infrastructure also well underway. I understand that it may be open early 2025. The only downside is that there are no plans at this stage to open it through to Mittagong. THNSW has a section online showing current works with updates, KZbin deletes the link but for the sceptical try looking it up.

Missed including footage of the remains of Hill Top Station, but included 'Death Bridge' a bit further along at the end of Ligar Street, Hill Top

Came here after seeing that work is currently underway. Do you know when the line was last used?

Did the freeway seaver the line from Colo Vale and Breamer

There is a tunnel underneath the freeway. It has never seen a train.
