Comment: We took our English friends for a ride on your train. It was an excellent experience with both closed carriage & open air carriage. The crew even stopped the train for Kerry when she lost her hat! Awesome.
Webmaster: Your English friends no doubt would have compared GMR to many fine English heritage railways although they would have been established longer.

Comment: I have holidayed in the Coffs Harbour area and often walked along sections of the Glenreagh/Dorrigo line hoping that it would be restored. A few beers at the Glenreagh Hotel were very enjoyable. I hope to visit the line soon.
Webmaster: Yes, the Golden Dog hotel serves fine beer and is a great supporter of GMR.

Comment: We visited on the Easter long w/e as part of an RTM Tour. Really enjoyed chuffing along on the beautiful 1919! Whilst acknowledging the enormous volunteer effort it would be great to see the line fully reopen including bridge back to the Station and up the mountain to Dorrigo! Well done still!
Webmaster: GMR is only where it is today due to the enormous amount of work done by the volunteers, hope to see you again soon

Comment: Yes! The GMR is an excellent example of volunteer partcipation and a great tourist and educational asset to the Coffs Harbour area. Please talk bout it to all your friends and associates. The more visitors we get, both on site and on ine, the better.

Comment: I have long been interested in the history of this line, particularly after seeing the Dorrigo Rail museum site. I have just come across your website and was sorry not to see more information and photos. You seem to be getting on with the job of restoring part of the line and I would be interested in becoming a member.
Webmaster: Thank you for your comments. Our apologies for not responding earlier. We have been deeply involved in our accreditation problems and some things just "fell in a hole".

Comment: Sorry to be late in posting this!! About 12 months ago, my wife and myself paid a visit to your railway with a trip from Bowraville. We had an excellent time with a picnic lunch that had been provided by the volunteers. It was interesting to hear about the history of the line, as I am a working volunteer on the TALYLLYN RAILWAY in the UK.
Webmaster: Thank you for your comments. Our apologies for not responding earlier. We have been deeply involved in our accreditation problems and some things just "fell in a hole". Unfortunately we are not operating at this time. Some of the history of the line has been added to the site which I hope you will find interesting. More will be added as it comes to hand.

Comment: The web site doesn't ever seem to be updated, but the membership and management seem to be having issues all over the place in public. I had an enjoyable ride a few years back, pity it all apears to have imploded. Perhaps you can remedy all this by putting up some news and keeping it updated. I will look one more time during August before removing you my favourites.
Webmaster: Thank you for your comments. Our apologies for not responding earlier. We have been deeply involved in our accreditation problems and some things just "fell in a hole".

The Website is now being updated and this will continue.

Comment: Great to see things are happening. Work hard at getting that accreditation. Keep up active communications with ITSRR, like Workcover they are there to help you. ITSRR website is a vary good source of info. Any chance you may be able to attach membership application form to your website. Already have purchased retirement property in Coffs. Will need to shift my focus from NSWRTM to Glenreagh when I retire. All the best with your endeavours.

Comment: My congratulations on your fine effort to revive the branch. I had the doubtful honour of cancelling the last scheduled mixed to the branch, and served on Dorrigo,Lowanna and Glenreagh stations from 1955 to 1969. Keep the dream alive,best wishes . NRM
Webmaster: Thank you for your comments. Our apologies for not responding earlier. We have been deeply in volved in our accreditation problems and some things just "fell in a hole".

We would appreciate any copies of memorabilia and/or photographs of those times which you may wish to share with our Museum and/or Website.

Comment: As a non active member of the GMR I would dearly like to see some activity reports or reports that will keep the membership informed of what is happening to our railway. Can the board appoint a member who is within the informed group of GMR to post a report either in the relevant section as per the categories or a generalised one under Thursday reports? Although not an active member of GMR I would still like to know what is happening, what the short medium and long term plans are for GMR.
