> **Notes:** The name "Summerland Way School Halt" is an arbitrary designation based on the location — it does not appear by this name or any other in the Weekly Notices. Mentioned in the 1951 timetable. The halt was almost certainly at or near a level crossing on the Summerland Way highway (the main road through the Kyogle district), in the same manner as the Collins Creek Road school halt at 519m 27c (approximately 2km to the south). No opening notice, working instructions or closure notice was found in the Weekly Notices collection.

## No Weekly Notice Entries Found

> The Summerland Way School Halt does not appear in the NSW Government Railways Weekly Notices from 1910 to 1989. This is consistent with its status as an informal stopping place for school children at a level crossing, which would typically be documented in train timetables rather than Weekly Notices, or may have been authorised by a simple instruction without a formal notice.
>
> The nearest documented reference is the **Collins Creek Road school halt at 519m 27c** (approximately 835.250 km, approximately 1.8 km to the south), where No. 24 Pass. and No. 23 Mixed were directed to call for school children from 26 March 1934. It is possible the Summerland Way halt operated under similar arrangements but was not separately documented in the Weekly Notices.
