00:07 But that's not the particular trigger that has caused us to have a trigger.

00:16 It's that Council have suddenly changed gear and moved into arguing this difference in our community,

00:25 difference in our community, in a way that's not entirely gentlemanly if I can put it that way.

00:33 A little grab just to mutilate 9km of our railway line and sort of render it defunct.

00:41 Alright, I'm out here with my friend and colleague Councillor Paul Gattas.

00:50 We're near the Great Hops. We're about 2km from the Armadale railway station

00:54 and this is where the first part of the New England Rail Trail will run.

00:59 It will go from Armadale railway station through to Jimmerick station, 10km,

01:05 and it will be a magnificent amenity for the community.

01:08 For young, old, cyclists, walkers, wheelchairs, it's really going to be a game changer for the region.

01:16 We're thrilled.
