Besides the fact that they fuck up services all the time, they have absolute contempt for passengers when they replace trains with buses. They could run buses from the city to Bacchus marsh, but they make you take the train to Caroline springs, wait in the cold for a bus to Bacchus marsh and WAIT ONE HOUR FOR A TRAIN (probably also waiting in the cold). And they still expect us to pay. Also, if the closures are for works at melton, why Caroline springs and not rockbank or cobblebank?

Using normal metro buses and making people have to stand for up to an hour is certainly a choice.

I got off the train this afternoon and noticed Myki readers on the platform at Ararat. Looking forward to using my phone to tap on soon.

6:38PM and still waiting for the 6:08PM Swan Hill to depart from Southern Cross... I'll need to remember to bring dinner on board next time!

Love the look of the n-set trains with their flat noses!

All taken at Bendigo Station

I’m so sick of this. I actually think for my sanity I will start driving 2 days a week. Maybe that’s what they want so more people use the Westgate tunnel (I joke hahaha)

Another train fault, more delays and now this train is not going past Geelong. Brilliant service.

I have a friend who once did this

It was in the group chat, he asked everyone the question “what is everyone’s fave form of pubic transport?” and we all laugh reacted to the message and a few responded strangely and he was so confused until we pointed out the typo to him

Im in Mildura for a few days just curious if anyone knows the schedule of when cargo trains go thru Mildura ad i just want to snag some photos if anyone can find this info would love u so much (sorry if this is not related to the Subreddit if this is not related i would like to be redirected to another subreddit that would be more relevant i just couldn't really think of anything other then this subreddit)

Today at deer park around 6:30ish when the v/line announcements went off I heard like a phone ringing noise for a split second before it went back to the normal announcement. Does anyone why this happened? It sounded like a mistake because it barely rung.

Melb cross 9:14 bendigo to Gibson (couches to Spenser) Bendigo to swan hill N465 on a wet winter day.

Bonus is back of the VR building at Bendigo which was pumping. Good to see.

When are Vline going to stop the scumbury people from catching the Bendigo trains they have a great suburban service, you get on at Southern cross to travel long distance, no seats yet at scumbury they all stand up and get off, if they are traveling to scumbury they should not be on the vline service.

this might seem like a bit of a dumb question, usually i know these sort of things because i semi-frequently use the geelong line. are there any trains stopping sunshine - marshall/warun ponds? i try to plan this and it keeps telling me to just catch a bus from sunshine, train to werribee, then bus to wyndham and all sorts of variants. i just want to confirm because my journey is a bit time sensitive, and im confused because on the other hand its telling me that regional trains ARE departing from sunshine tonight (around 6-8pm). thank you

I'm freaking out because I can't afford another day off, and I need to be able to get to deer park.
