A lack of rolling stock and overcrowding was affecting Swan Hill line at 05:40 as it was reduced from Loco Haul to VLocity 3×1 to Bendigo and Bus to Swan Hill 07:40.
I had dinner on board as the service was fairly crowded in the evening toward Geelong and Waurn Ponds on Tuesday night and most the bulk of people were in 3 reservation cars.
The Local State Member for Warrnambool defended what has been a disastrous change to the rolling stock on the line stating their would not be a loss of seats, that turned out to be a blatant fib.
