Passengers across Victoria\u2019s south west are experiencing more reliable and accessible journeys, thanks to the Victorian Government launching the first VLocity train to passengers on the Warrnambool Line. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 10:13am service from Southern Cross to Warrnambool was the first VLocity passenger service to hit the tracks \u2013 helping reduce the risk of train faults and possible disruptions for passengers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The weekday services are the first to be delivered in the progressive roll out of VLocity trains on the line \u2013 and starting from Sunday, 1 December, three return services on weekends and weekdays will run as VLocity trains.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fourth weekend service will also be introduced at the beginning of December and a fifth weekend service will be added next year, providing more travel options for passengers in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams said this is a landmark day for Warrnambool Line passengers, with more modern, reliable and accessible VLocity trains travelling along the Warrnambool Line for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n

VLocity trains also have improved features for passengers, including being more accessible than the classic fleet trains, with accessible bathrooms and dedicated spaces for passengers with mobility aids.<\/span><\/p>\n

The additional services are part of the almost 200 extra weekend services funded in the Victorian Budget 2023\/24<\/i>, which are being progressively rolled out across the regional network<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The introduction of VLocity trains follows the completion of major works on the Warrnambool Line Upgrade, which upgraded more than 60 crossings, delivered a new signalling system and installed a new crossing loop at Boorcan with 2.2km of new track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
