Extreme heat timetables on rail lines

Passengers are advised to check the V/Line website prior to travelling to see if their services are affected, and to allow extra time when travelling.

A copy of the extreme heat timetable can be downloaded from the V/Line website or passengers can ask for a copy from their nearest staffed station.

Extreme heat speed restrictions are enforced when temperatures exceed 36°C in order to reduce the likelihood of train and track faults, while also keeping passengers safe.

Journey times will be extended as V/Line reduces the speed of its trains.

There will be drinking water on board trains and passengers are also encouraged to travel with bottled water and wear cool clothing.
