Exploring regional Victoria by train and coach is relaxing, affordable and easy.

V/Line, together with local operators, offers connecting train and coach services between Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Grampians National Park and Adelaide.

Travel at your own pace and let someone else do the driving. All these services are individually ticketed and can be purchased as separate legs at no extra cost, allowing flexibility.
