Upgrades to 53 public level crossings on the Warrnambool Line to make them compatible with VLocity trains are now complete.
A winter construction blitz saw upgrades to train detection technology completed at the final remaining 17 level crossings between Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool, which will enable VLocity trains to run on the line for the first time by the end of the year.
As part of Stage 2 of the Warrnambool Line Upgrade, axle counters were installed at all 53 crossings, with booms, bells and lights added at 17 of these locations.
Stage 1 of the Warrnambool Line Upgrade was completed in December 2022 and delivered a fifth weekday return service between Warrnambool and Melbourne.
The first stage of the project included signalling upgrades between Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool and a new crossing loop at Boorcan.
