The State Government has announced the Shepparton train line will receive the promised nine return services every weekday, almost double the number of current services. The announcement comes on the back of the extension to free public transport until the end of May and half-price fares from June 1 until the end of the year.
Liberal Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell is sceptical about the announcement, which was promised three years ago.
“The Government needs to come clean and clarify exactly when the nine services will be running and when the extra weekend service will start – footy season is in full swing, and passengers are already struggling with overcrowded trains every weekend,” said Ms Lovell.
More information will follow when the updated train schedule is released.
