Due to the forecast temperatures we are expecting to run to an Extreme Heat Timetable on
Wednesday 06 November 2024
FULL EXTREME HEAT TIMETABLE:
Seymour and Shepparton lines
PARTIAL EXTREME HEAT TIMETABLE:
Bendigo, Swan Hill and Echuca lines
During the summer months, parts of V/Line’s network can be subject to extremely hot temperatures and we take extra precautions to make sure our train services run safely.
Trains that usually travel at up to 160km/h need to slow down to 90km/h or less because steel tracks expand in the heat.
On these days, affected lines will run to an Extreme Heat Timetable. This means journey times may be extended by a few minutes, and some services will be replaced by air-conditioned coaches for all or part of the journey.
