The line from Murwullimbah to Condong is a mess sections removed wash outs.
I guess a long line from Casino to Murbah needs freight as well as passengers to survive financially

Financially, Murwullimbah was quite healthy as far as passenger numbers were concerned.
Biggest problem I have with the XPT's (to anywhere) is they are full of concession paying card holders half the train is travelling either for free or half price, they need to free up full fare paying seats particularly in first class.
First class seats are always the first to be booked out.
