Push to save crumbling Riverina rail station after ‘eight years of neglect’

Key points

• A push to save Stockinbingal's historic railway station near Temora has gained momentum after years of complaints about its condition. Heritage advocate Phil Buckley says the station has deteriorated severely since 2018, with damaged platforms, missing wall panels and people trespassing inside.
• The NSW Government says the Australian Rail Track Corporation is responsible for maintaining and funding repairs under a lease. The corporation says it is arranging clean-up works and additional fencing, and has inspected the building with a qualified builder.
• Buckley wants the station repaired and restored for local heritage tourism use.
