School trip derailed as Warrnambool train now unsuitable for student travel

A recent change in train services on the Warrnambool line in Victoria, Australia, has disrupted a school excursion, forcing Brauer College’s year nine students to be split across two separate trains due to the reduced capacity of new VLocity trains, resulting in missed pre-booked activities and increased costs.

The issue stems from the introduction of smaller-capacity VLocity three-car sets, which have about 222 seats compared to the 350 seats on the older rolling stock, despite the addition of extra services to the timetable.

Warrnambool local MP advised at the time of the change there would not be a reduction in the number of seats a misleading statement at best.
