THE NSW Government have allocated $24 million to upgrade the 96 kilometres of railway line between Coonamble and Gilgandra.
The upgrades will be paid for in entirety by the NSW State government and will connect Coonamble to the Inland Rail network.
The line in its current form would force trains travelling along the Inland Rail to stop at Curban . . .
