They may get going again. Who knows.

A sad thing indeed, Woodsy. Having enjoyed this trip in 2011, one
must wonder at the future of Tassie tourism. To lose what must be one of the best one day tourist trains in the world is a huge loss.
I suppose this is a reflection of increased costs & maybe lower
patronage.
We felt for Tassie at the time...For Sale signs on damn near everything, including caravan parks & small country businesses.
We spoke to many retirees whos dream had burst in Tassie & were
going back to the mainland.
I dont have any answers, its all very depressing.....oldbaz.

The upkeep of the line must be extremely high. The day we went, the section from the top to Strahan was closed by trees across the tracks. Also while we were in Tas a tree fell on one of the cars and there were land slips closing the line.
It will be a big pity if it does close.
