Date Published: Monday 15 October 2012
A new train timetable beginning on Sunday, 18 November 2012 will deliver new services and additional capacity for regional train passengers.

The Bendigo, Ballarat, Albury, Shepparton and Gippsland lines will all have timetable changes.

V/Line coach and town bus network timetables along the Bendigo, Ballarat, Albury and Seymour train lines will also change, to maintain connections with V/Line trains.

Town bus network timetables in Ballarat, Geelong, Seymour, Kilmore, Wallan and Benalla will change to improve connections with trains.

Other key improvements include:
  • Bacchus Marsh and Seymour train services will have more carriages to increase capacity.
  • Ballarat line passengers will benefit from a new morning peak service from Bacchus Marsh to the city and a new evening peak service from the city to Melton on weekdays.
  • Two Benalla town buses routes will change to provide bus services to more areas of Benalla.
  • Local buses that service Bendigo Station will also have new timetables.
  • Small route extension of the Kilmore town service to the Kingsgate Village. See the map below.

Passengers are encouraged to check the new timetable before you travel or plan your journey for the best connection times.

To download and print your new V/Line train and coach timetable visit V/Line service timetables.

To download and print your new regional bus timetable visit regional bus timetables.

Printed timetables will be available at staffed V/Line stations from early November or by calling 1800 800 007 6am – midnight daily.
Kind Regards

I don't understand the "upgrades" of the timetables around said areas. From the ones I've checked, they (the upcoming 'changes' and the 'changes' that occurred in April of this year) don't seem to have any difference between the ones that came into operation in a few years ago when the timetables had a major upgrade.

Thanks,

The following new regional bus timetable booklets dated 18 November have been seen so far.

Bacchus Marsh

Ballarat

Bellarine Peninsula

Geelong Eastern Suburbs

Geelong North West Suburbs

Geelong South West Suburbs & Torquay/Jan Juc

The most recent Bendigo bus timetable booklet is dated 20 September 2012 & I assume that this is still current.

To the best of my knowledge all V/Line pocket timetables have been reissued but the regional booklets have yet to appear.
