Despite the rain, thousands of people grabbed their raincoats on 4 February and walked along  the railway line between Crofton Downs and Wadestown.

On Track organised the walk for the general public before reopening the Johnsonville line. The major work on the line is finished.  The tunnels are lower, the platforms longer and the embankments stronger.
