The Bendigo and Echuca Line Upgrade is complete, changing the way people move around the region.
The project delivered three new stations, giving people in growing communities access to trains close to where they live, and better reliability.
Trains now run faster and more frequently between Bendigo and Echuca, reaching speeds of 130km/h between Epsom and Goornong and 100km/h between Goornong and Echuca.
Passengers are now saving up to five minutes on their journeys from Echuca to Bendigo, with further savings of up to seven minutes to be delivered as part of a timetable change later this year.
