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: When is the website going to be up?

Webmaster: Unfortunately not until the webmaster has more time to spare, currently involved in other pressing matters, but hopefully will renew work on the website soon

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: i used to be a member there when i lived in grafton i used to enjoy riding the train hope to come again to see how far the line is now 
 
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. We would appreciate your membership as all contributions help in achieving our aims of operating a Tourist Railway and Museum. A membership section has been added which has a membership form included.

Comment: WE had a fun filled family day with you over the September school holidays last year. I am sorry to hear that this wonderful service is temporarily suspended. Hope to see you back on the line chugging away soon.

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.  

Comment: Good luck with the accreditation efforts. Hope to see you return to passenger operations in the not too distant future. Best regards, John 

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.

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. 

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. We agree with your comments. We cannot survive without our volunteers and our visitors.

Comment: still trying to get to glenreagh for a ride. hope that all goes well with your current problems. from all i have read & heard, yours as a really great railway. also a supreme effort in repairing the line & all the equipment as well. Once again all the luck in the world. 

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.

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". Unfortunately we are not operating at this time. I have just recently been given the job of Webmaster. I have added some history of the line and some photos and will be adding more as they become available.

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". Unfortunately we are not operating at this time. Like many other volunteer organisations we have our problems which we are working through and will resolve. 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. 

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. A Membership section, and form, has been added to the site. Sometimes the obvious just is not so obvious, thank you. We would welcome your membership.

Comment: Can someone please give me details of membership, how I can join, benefits etc. I can't seem to find anything in relation to membership on this site. 

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. A Membership section, and form, has been added to the site.  We would welcome your membership.

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". Unfortunately we are not operating at this time. Although doubtful, it must certainly have been an honour to have been involved in those times. 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: When will the trains be running again at GMR, as I would love to take my children on the trains. They have been to Richmondvale on the old SMR site and Steamfest. Please let me know. 

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". Unfortunately we are not operating at this time and cannot advise you of when we will be. You should check the Website from time to time. I  also visited Richmond Vale, a couple of years ago, and found it to be a very good operation.

Comment: Welcome back GMR great new website! Hoping the Minutes can be uploaded soon. We have enjoyed several visits there and runs along the line. Pity it is now closed but hopefully one day shall return. Best wishes. Can one become a Member despite distance (Woodford NSW) cheers Ian 

Webmaster: Thank you for  your comments. At this stage we do not know when we will be operating again. You are more than welcome to become a member, Please see the Membership Page for a Membership Form. As far as the minutes are concerned a decision has to be made by the Board. Maybe we will publish them in an abridged form. Obviously some things are of a confidential nature and will not be published on the 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. 

Webmaster: Thank for your comments.The Minutes of the 2009 AGM are now on the Website together with Notes of the February 2010 Board meeting.

Comment: Explored some of the line last xmas with my daughter, we had such a good day out that we are planing to return next xmas , will bring a better camera/batteries next time
