Two additional services are now running to and from Echuca each weekday as part of a new regional timetable, tripling the number of services on the line.
The extra services stop at the new Huntly and Goornong stations, delivered as part of the Bendigo and Echuca Line Upgrade.
The Bendigo and Echuca Line Upgrade has also allowed trains to and from Echuca to run faster, with track upgrades increasing the maximum train speed between Epsom and Goornong from 80km/h to 130km/h.
Further track upgrades will increase train speed between Goornong and Echuca.
The project is also improving train detection technology at 10 level crossings between Bendigo and Eaglehawk.
The new services will depart Echuca at 11.04am and 3.04pm, complementing the existing 7.16am service, and depart Bendigo at 12.26pm and 4.26pm, in addition to the existing 8.48am service.
New timetables are available at Public Transport Victoria website, VLine website and PTV’s journey planner app.
