Railway network hits 50-year high as people crowd onto trains  V/Line, the company that manages the railway system in Australia, is experiencing increased demand for its services, both from rural areas to the city, and within the suburbs around the city.  Rural areas to city train travel There has been a record 50-year high with almost nine million railway journeys made across the rural railway system this year.
