What you said is pretty much the truth. The line speed from Cranbourne
Block Point to Nyora Catch Points is down to 15km/h. However the actual
track isn't as bad as that might sound. All it needs is a little ballast
and a good tamping.

Apart from that, I can't say any more. I can say that the original lease
of Nyora to Leongatha allowed for the lease to be extended in the future.

Cheers
David
