Thousands of people are getting their first glimpse inside Auckland's City Rail Link tunnels.
Only 10,000 people have tickets for today's highly anticipated Walk the Tunnels event, with many more missing out on tickets.
Most of the first people inside the tunnel are families. Many are taking large family photographsat the deepest accessible point.
I was excited to go inside the City Rail Link last night. With Leight and @pippacoom and many others.
The 3.45km link opens in 2024, it will more than double the people moving capacity of the rail network & finally remove the dead end at Britomart!
He said while there would not be another Open Day in the near future, he was hoping for further open days for other parts of the project before the City Rail Link is completed.
Descending into the bowels of downtown this afternoon I got a sneak preview of the City Rail Link tunnels - from Britomart to Albert St. If you are one of the lucky 10,000 that have a ticket for the #WalktheTunnels tomorrow I'm sure you will stand in awe as I did. pic.twitter.com/eCBemkOAsw
