⚠️ Important safety message⚠️

Communities in the south-west are urged to remain vigilant at level crossings, with train testing taking place between South Geelong and Warrnambool from tomorrow, Friday 16 August until Sunday 25 August.

A locomotive and VLocity train will travel to and from Warrnambool this Friday and across the weekend, to complete important safety testing for signal and level crossing compatibility.

Test trains will also run between South Geelong and Waurn Ponds stations to safety test new infrastructure.

Daily freight services will run along the Warrnambool Line across the whole of next week as part of rail conditioning.

Communities and motorists are urged to take extra care, as trains can come from either direction at any time.

Always be alert and obey the warning signs when crossing the tracks.

VLocity trains are scheduled to run for the first time on the Warrnambool Line later this year and comprehensive testing is required before they can take passengers.

Croydon Station is open! 🙌 The new station on the Lilydale Line is fully accessible and features two elevated platforms, lifts and stairs, toilets and a waiting room.

Works will continue into spring to complete the new Croydon Transport Hub, new road connections, and works around the new station precinct, including new station carparking, shared use paths and landscaping.

Seen this sign on a V/Line train? This means you’re sitting in a dedicated quiet zone 🤫

Turn down your volume on devices or pop the earphones in, switch your mobiles to silent and speak quietly, so everyone can enjoy a peaceful journey.

The quiet carriage is usually the leading or rear carriage of the train.
