Get the appV-Line has introduced six-carriage trains on the Warrnambool Line, addressing overcrowding concerns raised by Colac and district residents after months of limited services. The new carriages aim to improve passenger capacity and comfort.
The Warrnambool Line has introduced six-carriage trains, addressing long-standing concerns from Colac and surrounding areas about overcrowding and inadequate service. This upgrade follows persistent feedback from local residents, aiming to improve passenger comfort and capacity. The new trains are expected to alleviate congestion during peak travel times, enhancing the overall travel experience for commuters. This development marks a significant step in addressing transportation needs in the region. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts to enhance public transport infrastructure in response to community demands.
A new South Coast rail timetable starts on Sunday, November 15, bringing more frequent peak, off-peak and weekend services between Wollongong and Sydney. Transport for NSW says the changes will untangle the South Coast and T4 lines between Arncliffe and Central. However, many commuters heading beyond Central, including those travelling to the airports, will need to change trains, adding around six minutes to each journey. Transport for NSW data for March 2026 shows about two-thirds of morning peak passengers from South Coast stations travel no further than Central, and will be affected. Local commuters have criticised the changes.
