From Friday 1 November, communities in the south-west will have access to more modern, reliable and accessible VLocity trains running on the Warrnambool Line for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ask the passengers of Bairnsdale how they despise these new trains that are not fit for longer distance journeys <\/a>they are a bus on steel wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Warrnambool will have on train catering, first class and leg room and comfortable seats removed from their 4 hour train journey.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warrnambool Council was so very happy to promote the poor standard V\/Locity trains for the line but must realise now V\/Line has dudded the customers and the Warrnambool Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also hidden from the public until now by V\/Line the crappy Vlocity trains will have 30% less seats on the train to Warrnambool<\/a> making it harder for people to get a seat and some may now stand for the 4 hour journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bairnsdale train services have been terrible<\/a> since the introduction of the V\/Locity trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local ALP Member for Warrnambool Jacinta Ermacora has provided support for the introduction of the substandard trains failing to listen to her constituents and the community. In fact on her website she states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I am dedicated to\u00a0enhancing the lives of all of us living in our outer regional Victoria.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Clearly this is not true when it comes to rail services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
