[edit] CountryLink stops

According to the current timetable, the XPT does not stop at Uranquinty; it's not even listed as a request stop. I'm removing the table and links to the other towns. JROBBO 10:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Hi JROBBO - I noted your revert of my entry regarding Wagga Wagga - Uranquinty - The Rock train stops. Let me say first off that it is absolutely no skin of my nose if the article on Wagga Wagga and Uranquinty is changed- but I note your interest in accuracy and given that I live here and have travelled the train line from Wagga Wagga to Melbourne on many many occasions I know that the train does in fact stop at Uranquinty. (If you have travelled this train you will know that it stops at some stops literally for no more than 30 seconds and has departing/enbarking passengers at one specific door on the train ready to get off).

You are correct that Uranquinty is not listed as a Request Stop but to be sure of my facts this morning I rang Countrylink again (just in case the ability for a stop has ceased) and asked if I could buy a ticket Sydney to Uranquinty. The telephone salesperson asked her supervisor and called me back to say that with a special request (which a supervisor will assess) the train will stop at Uranquinty. As I said I have travelled that way by train (on probably 25-50 occassions in the past 6 or so years) and it has stopped at Uranquinty many times. Just thought you might like to know in case you want to adjust for this fact? --VS ^{talk...images} 00:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry I didn't believe you earlier, but I do now. I remember now that there are other non-listed stops on other lines like Newbridge on the Main West. My only worry is that someone will revert the change without a source, as is supposed to happen on Wikipedia if the fact is unjustified. Can you find a published source that says UQ is still open and used for Countrylink trains on request? This site has it listed as "In use" but doesn't say that passenger trains stop there. By all means, though, put it back to how you had it before (and don't forget to change The Rock, New South Wales as well.) JROBBO 07:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
