LuggageThe carriage of all luggage and personal belongings remains the responsibility of the owner at all times, which is why we recommend you keep belongings within eyesight and check that you have everything before leaving a train or coach service.
The total luggage limit for all V/Line services is 30 kilograms.
People can carry two items of luggage, with no one item weighing more than 20 kilograms, as well as one piece of hand luggage.
Checked luggageChecked luggage is only accepted on long-distance, locomotive-hauled train, arriving in or departing from Albury, Bairnsdale, Shepparton, Swan Hill or Warrnambool.
Luggage must be checked in at least 30 minutes before you leave. All items must be properly packed or they will not be accepted.
Passengers travelling on short journeys should transfer their own luggage. When requested, staff will provide assistance to elderly passengers or passengers with special needs.
See Bikes if you're planning to take your bicycle.
Packing guide and luggage tagsLuggage should be contained in a suitcase, travel bag, backpack or suit carrier.
Luggage packed in cardboard, polystyrene containers, plastic bags, wooden boxes or tea chests will not be accepted. Please ensure that your luggage is strong enough to hold its contents.
A luggage tag with your name, contact details, destination and date of travel should be securely attached to your luggage. Please remove all previous luggage tags.
Valuables and medicationPassengers are advised to carry personal medication, keys and valuables in their hand luggage only. Again, all belongings remain the responsiblity of owners.
