Sometimes we are unable to open the Cafe Bar in cases of staff illness or because they are required as a conductor on another train. Your conductor will let you know when the Cafe Bar is open for you to buy snacks, hot beverages and soft drinks.

A quiet carriage is a dedicated zone on VLocity trains for customers who want to travel in a quieter environment. The quiet carriage is usually the leading or rear carriage of the train.
 
The quiet carriage is a customer-regulated initiative, where travellers voluntarily turn down the volume on electronic devices, switch mobile phones to silent and speak quietly.
 
V/Line staff do not enforce quiet carriage courtesy.

 

Please note that using headphones or earphones may not prevent other customers hearing very loud music, so it’s a good idea to check if people around you can also hear your music.

 

Prams and strollers

Prams, pushers and strollers can be taken on V/Line train services if there is room on board. On busy services you may be required to fold up your pram and store it in the appropriate area.

Please ask the conductor if you need assistance with storing your pram.

Baby change facilities

Our VLocity trains have toilets that are equipped with baby change facilities, however, our older locomotive carriages and Sprinter trains do not have these facilities. Baby change facilities are also available at Southern Cross Station.

Unaccompanied children

On V/Line services, children under 10 years old cannot travel alone. They must travel with a responsible person, except when travelling with other children to and from school.

In circumstances where a child under 10 years of age is found travelling alone, V/Line staff or coach drivers will escort the child to the next staffed V/Line station and transfer them to station staff who will contact the police to have the child returned to their parent or guardian.
 
Children aged 10 – 15 years may travel alone on V/Line services but the sole responsibility for the safety of the child remains with the parent or guardian who has care of the child.

N-Set trains run on the Swan Hill and Albury lines, as well as selected services to and from Bairnsdale.
