We have come to know the appalling management of the rail network under V\/Line. Warrnambool Regional Council have been pushing hard for Vlocity trains to be introduced on their line with many in the know who have experienced V\/Line’s latest fall from grace<\/a> (The long distance Vlocity) being a substandard service sitting back waiting for the disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\/Line have decided to gradually remove the Locomotive long distance N sets services from longer distance routes much to the disappointment of the travelling public. The N sets are being replaced with short distance uncomfortable vlocity trains<\/a> that are not fit for the service to Warrnambool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well Warrnambool City Council, you got what you asked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
V\/Line forgot the 4th option being no Vlocity trains please<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new velocity based services will only have 3 car sets about 1\/3 less seats than the locomotive hauled N sets services that are far more comfortable and have on train catering. The new Vlocity (bus on steel wheels) do not have on train catering services<\/a> and have poor quality seats and are very noisy. They are not popular with the travelling public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add further insult to injury, there will be less reserved seating options on the new trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N set services have a total of 360 seats (the Warrnambool service) which are now being reduced to 222 seats and without on train catering. The new arrangement will certainly mean more overcrowding and a terrible passenger experience once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\/Line just cannot run a rail service that is fit for longer distance passengers and routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
