Country people do care about working passenger services (maybe not up your way but they do here) Given the amount of people who board and depart from stations like Wagga and Cootamundra (in both directions) both being major transport hubs out to other places.
A train can move thousands of punters in one hit with more efficiency than any small regional plane. Have you priced the cost of air tickets to regional towns from the capitals ? They don't give discounts like capital to capital tickets.

I was also wondering, if the service does end, would it be possible to put a passenger carriage on the same train as the freight? That way would be more cost effective, and you could still offer the important regional rail passenger service. They used to do it this way in the old days.
