    The line to bomaderry is going to be getting a 4km passsing loop between Gerringong and Berry at Toolijooa and this will allow an increase in service to 30 minutes and so this will mean 2 trains operating and a spare or 2 in case of a breakdown. Even more reason for endeavours to remain in service here.

    I can't find the official press release, not anything on the NSW Gvt website - I presume this announcement was an election promise anyway.  

    That said, $125m for a 4km crossing loop?  They must be buying back the water rights along that stretch of line as well.

    There are a few more articles mentioning this and something on the local MP's web site. All released in the week prior to election. They are also talking of more platforms at Bomaderry, and they haven't even worked out what land needs to be resumed at Toolijooa. Delivery is promised for this term of government.
