What a surprise!
We all know that the track corporation is doing its best to repair sections of track.
They’ve been at it for years and are probably becoming quite efficient in what they do.
But we don’t want a heavy downpour to detract from my suggestion and reason for writing.
With outdated rolling stock and continual track failure, V/Line cannot guarantee a reliable train service to Melbourne and back. However, using a private operator, the luxury coach services to and from Seymour have been reliable and successful.
As part of providing excellent customer service it is time for V/Line to admit that a train service is no longer an option and that luxury coach travel will be operating on every occasion.
I am sure that most regular passengers would be happy with that and even more so if it went all the way to Melbourne.
