Extreme heat forces changes to V/Line trains

EXTREME heat timetables will be in place tomorrow (Saturday, February 22) for trains on V/Line’s Geelong line due to forecast hot temperatures.

Train speed restrictions are enforced when temperatures exceed 36 degrees to reduce the likelihood of train and track faults, while also ensuring passenger safety.

As a result, journey times will be extended as train speed times are reduced.

Drinking water will be on board trains, and passengers are encouraged to travel with bottled water and wear cool clothing.

Passengers are asked to check the extreme heat timetables on the V/Line website before travelling to see if there are any changes to their services, and to allow extra time when travelling.

The latest public transport information and network status are available at vline.com.au, ptv.vic.gov.au or in the PTV mobile app.
