 The Railway Committee was already making plans for the next of the line beyond Belgrove in anticipation of the completion of surveying work along the then planned route to Tophouse via Blue Glen.Following a change of government in late 1879, and with an approaching economic depression, two railways commissions were appointed in May 1880 and October 1882 to examine the future of railway lines around the country, both planned and in progress.In its report presented on 26 July 1880, the first commission recommended that the almost complete Foxhill – Belgrove section be completed but that the Belgrove – Tophouse section be postponed.
