Raglan Railway Station. 9-11-2024.

Afternoon,

This is the First Photo for my Write up about the Raglan Railway Station.

The Railway Station above was opened on the 20th of October 1890.

Railway Operations started at Raglan on the 4th of March 1873.

This Railway Station is the second to be built in the Area.

Heritage Listed in April 1999.

Last Month the Railway Station was 134 Years Old.

The bathurst Railway Station became the Terminus in March 1876.

Access at the Raglan Railway Station. 5-11-2024

 Evening,

Incorrect information has been written about an access visit in September 2024, in the Newsletter By the Boy in the Sand Pit.

What is written above is wrong in relation to our Visit on the 11th of Sept, or perhaps the 10th.

We communicated with 2 different people.

The second person came to our Vehicle, he explained he was a Protection Officer, and he could organise for us to Visit the Raglan Railway Station platform. We did everything he asked of us, went on to the Platform, took our Photos then returned to my Truck and excited the Precinct.

All above Board,

All Legal

So please stop writing Lies about what we did

The Write up for the 60's Travel is on the 12th of August.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

I will also be looking at Rollingstock from Overseas, as NSW is short of Operational Railcars. I will get in contact with my Friend Mr. Hurst to see what he can advise.

There maybe some English or European Railcars available.

I also need to look at the HST's again,

As there are some already in Mexico and Africa.

The Ones in Mexico are operational already.

Maybe another way to tackle this Problem is to get a Trial Velocity set from Victoria.

UPDATE FROM THE hERITAGE VOLUNTEER,

I am also looking at the 620/720 Class Railcars, will have to investigate as to weather a couple of sets are available, that are Operational.

Regards,

B.L.

UPDATE FROM THE UK.

My Friend has got back to me,

He has advised there are Railcars in Storage at 2 Locations in the UK,

So will need to do more investigations to see what can be done.

Many thanks to him for getting back to me.

Enough is Enough. 29-09-2024.

Good morning,

Raglan Railway Station, capturing the XPT Replacement.

Under the awning at the Raglan Railway Station.

Above is a Post that was written yesterday afternoon, it is in reference to me, Brian Leedham, calling me the Railway Developer, in fact the, Northern NSW Railway Developer.

Problem is, I have never submitted a D.A. ( Development Application ) for a Railway Project.

So you see I cannot be called a Railway Developer, but the Idiot keeps doing it and thinks he is being smart and truthful, but he is just being an Arsehole. Trying his best to upset me.

I consider myself to be a Volunteer, and that's all, as I have done it since 2001.

No big deal, I just like helping people, Helping Communities.

I have also been a Volunteer in the Sport of Dragon Boat Paddling, and that was for 10 years.

Once again, no big deal, as I was involved in the Sport as a Paddler and a Sweep.

And I had a lot of Fun doing it, and met a lot of Different people.

You have made claims that I have never finished a Project, never obtained a Lease, always have Ideas, according to you too many Ideas/Projects. While I was President of the Merriwa Railway Society Inc., the Committee was successful in obtaining a Lease, which happened in October 2010, since then the Project has been ongoing, as quite often Heritage Projects take a long time to finish.

THE PAINT. Yes you did organise the Paint thru a Dulux employee, but when you left the Project, you did not pass on the Information, so it was re-negotiated, and the Paint was picked up in January 2011. More paint was received at a later date, which allowed the Interior of the building to be completed.

So the Interior was restored and painted, with 3 rooms being completed, so it could be opened to the Public.

This post is the continuation of the First one above.

To secure a Lease for a Railway Station, it is necessary to contact the Railways Manager and the Council, that is a Known Fact. As I have said before I communicated with 6 different people. If my application to Council and John Holland was successful I would have applied for a Lease. But I stopped Negotiations when I was advised that the Bogan Shire Council had received a Grant. This was in July 2019.

Yes the Plan was to start a Bed and Breakfast Business, but the negotiations were stopped.

Yes I would have made an application for a DA, if I went ahead with the Plan. But that did not happen.

Regarding the English HST's I emailed the People who Lease the Rail sets to Companies who wanted to run HST's. The Response I got was they wanted 1 Million Pounds for 2 Power cars and 4 Carriages. I was also in contact with a Person who owns a Carriage and he advised that Porterbrook, the Leasing Company was asking too much money for a set. So I canned the idea of having a HST set imported to Australia. The Ideas I had for raising the required money, were many.

This was the 3rd section of the Post,

You claim that my Ideas are expensive, of course they are, because, anything to do with Railways is expensive.

Nothing will change in NSW Regional areas unless people put up Ideas,

Big Changes are needed and the attitude of people needs to change.

If people are always Negative, and say that things will never work, then there will never be change.

You have to have people who are positive, who can see that things may work if they are worked out Properly, which involves meeting people in person, phoning people, writing letters to people.

The reason I have written this Post is because I am sick of Your Bullying, your Harrassment, your telling me what I have to do in my life, which you do all the time, you share your Nasty thought's with your Followers on your Pages, making it look like I am a Horrible person.

Fact is you are the one that is causing all the trouble, and, sometimes you write about me on a Daily basis.

IT HAS TO STOP.

That means you never write about me again.

Remember,

I am only a Volunteer.

Raglan Railway Station. 28-09-2024.

 Morning,

Some Info and Photos of the Raglan Railway Station.

DYK?

Did you know that this Railway Station will be 134 years old on the 20th of October 2024.

The Railway Station is Located at the top of the Hill.

Using a Friends Long Lens, I was doing some experimental Photo work, really enjoyed it as well, so much so that I have bought my own long lens.

XPT Passing through, probably travelling to Dubbo.

The Explorer doing the XPT duties on this day the 11th of September 2024.

Up close to the Platform, We were escorted by a Protection Officer, on to the Platform, so we could Photograph the XPT replacement train.

A Note,

The Raglan Railway Station was the Terminus, from the4th of March 1873 till the 4th of March 1876, when the Bathurst Railway Station was opened.

A 2011 Email. 31-07-2024.

 Afternoon,

Here are parts of an email sent out in May 2011.

The other parts will be added tomorrow, the 1st of August.

Apparently Mr buckley is Upset,

To my Knowledge none of your Pages are Registered, so If I have used similar Names, it is your Bad Luck.

You have threatened me with civil court action many Times, written about it many times, so they can be considered as threats, it is illegal to threaten a Person.

You keep using Photos from My Pages.

You do not ask Permission.

Your current Newsletter has two Photo from My Blog Page.

You have been asked to stop all your actions Many times, but you still keep doing it.

The most recent Post, should not have been written, or Posted.

But I forgot you are an Evil Moron.

And, 

This Morning, Thursday the 8th you do a big write up about somebody else, YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL, HAVE TO KEEP WRITING ABOUT PEOPLE TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BIG.

By the way, I will probably be dead before you get me into court.

10.38 am

8=08=2024.

Phil Buckley,

You need to stop writing about me, and, the other people you write about, as it indicates you are a MADMAN, nothing better to do in your Life than abuse people. You have been doing this since 2009, which is along time, and, it would be a whole lot better if you invested your time into your Projects instead of Abusing People.

How about changing your Life around and stop abusing people, it would be really good if you could do that. Make it your 2024 Resolution.

3.21 pm

EXPANSION OF REGIONAL RAIL PASSENGER SERVICES.

,

The above Railcars are due to be trialed in the next 12 months hopefully.

Permission has been granted for the use of the Photo above.

Services that could be expanded are.

A 6 car consist. to Goulbourn, to be split at Cootamundra, with two cars going to Griffith, via Stockinbingal and Temora.

A two car consist to Broken Hill on a Thursday, to return on a Friday, giving opportunity for a few days stay for a look around.

A Single Railcar, Super cph from Dubbo to Cobar, expanding to Bourke at a Later stage.

A six car consist to Glen Innes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, splitting at Werris Creek and Armidale, with future services to Tenterfield.

A two car consist from Newcastle to Coffs Harbour, 3 times a week.

In my opinion this could be done over time when the New Regional Railcars come in to service.

HAVE A SIMPLY FANTASTIC DAY EVERYBODY.

NEWS- Passenger Expansion-NSW. 23-06-2024

 Morning,

A Question?

Can a service be supplied for Orange to Lithgow, with 3 Standard Gauge Carriages and a Locomotive each end, to run services by either SSR or LVR.

Would this Be a Good Idea.

The State of NSW needs more Rail Passenger services, to service the Rural Area's

There needs to be a service run to Griffith via Temora and Stockinbingal, this could be a 4 car consist, with 2 cars running on to Wagga Wagga or Albury.

A Service needs to be run from Dubbo to Cobar, and return.

The Railway Line to Bourke needs to be re-opened so it can have a Passenger service as well.

Tamworth to Glen Innes and Tenterfield. Twice a week maybe to get it started.

Bathurst already has 2 Bullet trains running to Sydney, Only fair that Orange get's a service.

Newcastle to Coffs or Grafton.

Newcastle to Wauchope, could go shopping in the Cities shopping Centres.

At the moment, Rollingstock, for Passenger services, has an availability Problem,

There4 are no Explorers or Endeavour Railcars available.

Unless a set gets piched from Woolongong or Newcastle.

It will be much easier when the Civity Railcars are in Service.

Maybe they can be put into service on the BH Line First, do their testing in the outback.

Of course a second service to Broken Hill, out on a Friday, and back on a Saturday.

Mail,

Parcels

Small palletts could be carried on these Trains as well.
