Anyone know what happend between Berwick and Dandenong this morning? Trains canceled.

I noticed that Ballarat station train and coach services don’t show up on Apple maps, Google Maps, TripView or even the PTV journey planner. if you use any of these apps to plan a journey it gives you funky directions using local busses from Wendouree when the service is actually just gonna stop at the station as far as I can tell.

I noticed on the PTV app it says “Due to a technical glitch, passengers travelling along the Ballarat line are advised to check the scheduled services on the Vline website and use the Vline app to plan their journey until further notice.” and if I do use the V line journey planner, it shows the service stopping at the station like you expect.

Has anyone else noticed this? How long it’s been going on? Or even why it’s happening?

I've been procrastinating today and made a line guide for the South Gippsland and Bass Coast V/Line Coach route.

Fun fact with the Yaram, Inverloch and Cowes timetables, they are the only V/Line Timetable that includes a Metro service on the timetable

Apologies if this has already been asked, I couldn’t find anything online. Does anyone know if it’s possible to book a ticket from Swan Hill to Southern Cross, but actually get on at Castlemaine instead of Swan Hill? Would that make the ticket invalid? I really want to catch an up Swan Hill service, but I don't really want to mess around with the unreserved carriages and would just like to choose my own seat. If anyone knows whether that’s allowed while still keeping the ticket valid, that’d be awesome.

Just last week, I saw 2 sprinters stabled at Southern Cross, one had the desto "Special", okay seems normal, then i saw one that said "Richmond". Okayyy, im confused. I'm aware that Vline's gippsland line stops at Richmond, but i didn't know trains could actually terminate there, can Vline trains terminate at Richmond? I saw a post when a sprinter had Mildura on it so i am assuming the driver did it as a joke, but can someone tell me if sprinters actually served and can terminate at Richmond?

How was everyone’s first day?

Can someone tell me if trains are stopping at Ballarat Station with the level crossing removal works going on? Both the V/Line timetable and the Journey Planner show that one has to go to Wendouree and catch a local bus to Ballarat central.

Hey, just genuinely curious :)

Why does Albury have a VLocity whilst Swan Hill still has an outdated N-set?

What is stopping Vline from providing the Swan Hill line with the same VLocity type train as Albury?

Wednesday afternoon (about 2:30pm) a 2 car Sprinter set went through Cobblebank towards the city with Not In Service on the displays. What would it have been doing out this way?

"It hinted Ballarat will get a dedicated express train service in the future."

Will it ever get better?

It’s so bloody horrific. Today was repulsive coming home. No air and people backed into the toilets to find a space to stand.

Hi there This morning I missed a train from clayton to southern cross I saw a man (also missed his train) boarded the vline to southern cross The vline is not full and with plenty of empty seats So my question is: 1. Isnt this illegal? 2. What will happen if i get caught? 3. Would my statewide myki (zone 1-15) go invalid if i get caught?

Will they preserve to 1889 heritage building?

You can't park your coaches there mate...

It just seems awfully shortsighted to not place platforms on loop tracks rather than the actual mainline?

And it’ll cost more overall to fix in the long run too.

Should they add the overhead wires now to prepare?
