V/Line has confirmed that its services stopped operating in NSW from Wednesday, meaning trains cannot go to or from Albury.
"In most cases scheduled coach services will travel to the normal timetable within Victoria, but start or finish their journey at the last Victorian stop before the NSW border," a V/Line spokesman said.

The coach services between Canberra and Albury-Wodonga will also not run.
Despite extra restrictions being reimposed Melbourne this week, travel will still be allowed to the North East on V/Line buses for some people.
"Victoria Police will be monitoring those leaving Melbourne to ensure they are travelling for one of the three reasons," the spokesman said.
The move comes after Transport for NSW announced this week that the XPT train would not cross into Victoria while the border was closed.
