New timetables

From 1 December 2024, new train timetables will begin on the Geelong, Warrnambool and Ballarat lines. Timetables for the Albury and Bendigo lines will also be updated to include extra services that have been running as weekend specials. There will also be changes to some coach timetables that connect with trains.

Please note, due to ongoing Inland Rail works, a temporary timetable will be in place on the Albury Line until late January, with the second Saturday morning Albury to Southern Cross service departing at 7.55am. From Saturday 1 February 2025, this service will change to depart from Albury 50 minutes later at 8.45am.
