PASSENGERS in Victoria’s north-east will need to prepare extra travel time during October and November as works take place as part of the Shepparton Line Upgrade.
Replacement coach services will replace trains on sections of the Seymour and Shepparton lines, at the following times:
Between Seymour and Shepparton from October 1 and 6;
Between Southern Cross, Seymour and Shepparton on October 7 and 8;
Between Seymour and Shepparton from October 9 to 29;
Between Southern Cross, Seymour and Shepparton from October 30 to November 23;
Between Seymour and Shepparton on November 24.
Replacement coach services will be a mix of express, semi-express, stopping at all stations services, excluding Essendon and a temporary timetable will be available from the V/Line and PTV websites.
Shepparton Line Upgrade crews will work to deliver upgrades along more than 25 kilometres of track between Mangalore and Murchison East.
While trains aren’t operating, V/Line crews will also continue to upgrade the signalling system along the Seymour line.
