Jacqui Felgate has taken V/Line to task after the chaos that unfolded on the Geelong and Warrnambool lines yesterday.
Buses replaced trains between Wyndham Vale and Waurn Ponds, leaving commuters frustrated, with some taking up to five hours to get from Melbourne to Geelong.
“It is a third world service, and in fact, on some days it’s even worse,” the 3AW Drive host said.
Press PLAY to hear some of the messages she received from irate commuters (and the true cause of the disruption)
V/Line passengers Emily and Matt joined 3AW Drive to share what they experienced yesterday while trying to get home.
“It’s something that’s becoming very expected for commuters,” Emily said.

I heard about this stuff up level crossing fault and I happened be on a train coming back from elsewhere when I arrived at the station at the time it was on the thick of it I saw people everywhere custom staff flat out piles of people standing on platforms!
It’s bedlam…cutting the wrong wire???that contractor firm used by V/Line should be investigated via DOT….this caused massive knock on effect disrupting all the trains in and out and the day after still the line was out until late afternoon!
