An interesting comment I came across in another group I run, someone commented that the women who lived in Leigh and Megan on the Dorrigo branch used to catch the train to Coffs Harbour (this would have been 1930s) on a Monday morning to do their shopping, returning on Tuesday afternoon. This would have neccesitated a chage at Glenreagh in both directions. These days Coffs is less than an hour's drive each way.
