The Victorian Government<\/a> is extending train services across the Ballarat, Albury and Bendigo lines \u2013 delivering more public transport connections for regional passengers.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams announced that a new V\/Line timetable<\/a> will deliver a range of new travel options for regional passengers on some of Victoria\u2019s busiest lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The timetable will take effect on Sunday, 1 December, with Ballarat Line passengers set to benefit from three evening peak services extending to Bacchus Marsh instead of terminating at Melton.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re adding almost 100 new services across Victoria\u2019s regional public transport network \u2013 making it easier for Victorians to get to where they need to go,\u201d Williams said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delivering more modern and reliable trains, and giving passengers more travel options to travel around our state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The five morning and five afternoon Bacchus Marsh services will also have journey time savings of three to five minutes, making travel easier and more convenient for those passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to the increased popularity of V\/Line service following our introduction of fairer fares, the two special weekend services we have introduced on the Albury and Bendigo lines will also be made permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Government\u2019s regional fare cap has transformed the way people travel around the state, with more than 33 million train trips taken across the network and more than $90 million saved since it was introduced last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Information on the new timetables will be available from Friday, 1 November \u2013 to learn more, visit ptv.vic.gov.au, vline.com.au or call 1800 800 007.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
