Communities south of Geelong are now enjoying 31 extra services every week thanks to new train stabling facilities in Waurn Ponds.
The new facility has six tracks where up to six VLocity trains can be stored overnight making the extra services possible on Victoria’s busiest regional train line. The Project team has installed more than 1.65 kilometres of track, 2700 sleepers, 25 kilometres of cabling and a 4-kilometre pressure sewer system.
Minor works including landscaping, asphalting and line marking finished recently.
The 31 extended services includes trains in both peaks and the last train to Geelong on Saturday night.
They are on top of the 20 extended weekly services delivered last May following upgrades to Waurn Ponds Station.
The updated timetable is available on the V/Line website.
