Due to the forecast temperatures across Victoria on Wednesday, extreme heat timetables will be in place to ensure V/Line train services run safely.
Extreme heat timetables will be in place for services on the Seymour and Shepparton lines on Wednesday, November 6. Partial extreme heat timetables will be in place on the Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill 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.
