Approaching Gunnedah, NSW TrainLink's daily Moree to Sydney service NP44 in 2 car formation with cars 2528 and 2508 (formerly an Endeavour set) make good time. At Werris Creek this service will attach to NP24 from Armidale and run as a combined train to Sydney. The North-West Xplorer services are very popular, with most trains usually running with very healthy loadings. It would be good to see more services up here in the North-West Agricultural region.

Stayed here in their motel section at the rear. Basic rooms. Booked it 2 months ago (they didn't want a deposit) and rocked up to be told that there was no reservation...and no rooms available. Stood my ground and a room suddenly became available...not very professional.
