The local residents, appalled to learn in the 1960s that the cutting would become a heavy railway station - to boot, the only above ground station on the line - lobbied the Government of New South Wales vigorously to oppose the station.
Notwithstanding the fact that, at the time, the station may have had low patronage, the local community took the NSW Government all the way to the High Court of Australia to oppose the opening of the station, an action that was lost.
