S549 - Under New Management
With progress on S549 as good as stalled in 2018; mainly due to the uncertainty of running again on the mainline, a new leader in Brayden Hesford would take over to ensure the project would eventually be completed. Although progress was still slow, it was however still going forward and strong.
