That's interesting NotebookMan.

Cutting the line at Maitland? Are you sure that's what you mean?

Cutting services beyond Maitland, on the other hand, meaning Scone, Muswellbrook and Dungog (but not Telarah (perhaps if we're lucky)), is definitely a popular idea with ARTC. It is precisely those sectors where Cityrail (as it was) services conflict with coal and other freight trains.

NotebookMan, from the way Tim Owen spoke, he gave a suggestion of cutting it on the Newcastle side of Maitland, not as you have stated in the quote above.

Tim Owen mentioned something in the interview that he wants to get passenger trains off the freight lines, and then he went on to mention something about trying to make a decision of where to cut the rail line, and he brought up Maitland as an alternative for some reason.

Edit-1: I've just been to this ([size=2]http://planspolicies.planning.nsw.gov.au/index.pl?action=view_job&job_id=6112[/size]) section of the NSW Planning website, and found this:-

The proposed State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) Amendment (Light Rail) 2013 (the draft SEPP) will amend the State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 (Infrastructure SEPP) to clarify planning pathways related to light rail by including light rail purposes within the definition of rail infrastructure facilities.

In the link in the edit, their are three PDF links.

Edit-2: If I'm reading the documents correctly, I believe that she may be correct.
Sounds fishy to me.
