Planned Service Change

Service changes on the Bairnsdale Line

8 Feb - 31 Mar 2026

Gippsland line

Bairnsdale Line

Due to track upgrade works, temporary speed restrictions will be in place on a section of the Bairnsdale Line from Sunday 8 February to Tuesday 31 March.

During this time, trains will run at slower than normal speeds between Bairnsdale and Rosedale to allow the tracks to bed down.

Trains to the city

All trains to the city will depart up to 6 minutes earlier from Bairnsdale, Stratford, Sale and Rosedale stations.

View the temporary timetable here.

The V/Line journey planning tool will also be up to date.

Please note that on Monday 9 March, trains will run to a Saturday timetable for the Labour Day public holiday.
