The Victorian Government is delivering 50 new or extended weekend rail services, but the Seymour line hasn’t made the list.
The Ballarat, Ararat, Warrnambool, Geelong and Bendigo lines will benefit from the new services.
“More regional Victorians are choosing to take public transport than ever before thanks to our cheaper fares policy — so we’re catering to this extra demand with more trains, more often,” Public and Active Transport Minister Gabrielle Williams said.
Almost 75 per cent of extra weekend services promised by the current Victorian Government at the 2022 election have now been delivered.
“We made regional travel more affordable for Victorian families through the regional fare cap and now we’re delivering more services to four regional rail lines,” Premier Jacinta Allan said.
On Monday, March 10, The Telegraph asked the Department of Transport and Planning to find out why Shepparton and Seymour weren’t on the list of lines to get the extra services.
The department is yet to respond to these questions.
