What routes have you been reading this on? There are a lot of routes there, climb the ones with visable lower offs.

Not sure the names clicked on the first climb in that area and scrolled along and read comments , thanks man I will have a look

Not sure which one you think is a problem?
The first 2 routes on the Sidings are Trad routes (although some of the Trad in Australia does include some dodgy bolts and lower offs).

Theres a comment saying 'First Holy Missing' which presumably means hold but could mean bolt on Thomas the Tank but it's so low and easy it's not needed.

Theres also a note in the description of Polar Express saying the 3rd bolt hanger's missing, but read down and you'll see it has been replaced.

Otherwise the routes I've climbed there all seem fine.

I was there the other week and the bolts/lower offs seemed fine. On some bolts the hangers weren't facing the right way, but I'm not sure how much that effects things. You can see everything from the bottom anyway.
