First class on a loco-hauled regional train | V/Line Melbourne to Warrnambool

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Please note: Since 31 March 2023, daily fares for travel on all Government owned or operated public transport across Victoria are capped at $9.20 for full fare, or $4.60 for concession. So the standard fare between Melbourne and Warrnambool is now $9.20.

[@williamhuang8309]

It seems like the option to buy a first class ticket has been removed from the VLine website. Do they still even offer first class?

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

@@williamhuang8309 Possibly not given most loco hauled sets are now operated by VLocities, which don’t have first class.

[@nickroberts3658]

Yes, on the Locomotive N class services you can select the first class seats when booking. It doesn't specifically say first class but you'll notice some carriages have 2-3 seat config and some have 2-2. And it's the same price as economy.@@williamhuang8309

I used to attend Warrnambool East Primary School which the train runs alongside. We would wave as it passed by during lunch time. Later, the train took me to University and back on a weekly basis. It's been years since I took a trip back on the train. Being able to nod off or read a book is better than driving.

Beautiful! Sorry I was MIA for quite some time as I had to study for my examinations. Anyways I am done with those and now have something interesting to watch! V/Line and Melb-Syd CountryLink trains remind me of the time I visited Aus from 2008-2009. I can still very vividly remember the VLocity trains(though I never knew the name) back when they were in a green livery. Having your videos(and Rory’s) about Aus trains helps me keep my memory fresh. I also hope to visit Aus in December and ride on the XPT before they are scrapped next year.

@@FromtheWindowSeat I did ride on CountryLink as well, just that I was too young back in 2008 to fully recall it, though my dad has talked to me about it and mentioned about how the seats were rotated to stretch our legs etc. For the record, we took the train as it was the cheapest option;something like $50 Melb-Syd.

[@axan50transportproductions]

As much as I laud V/Line for its modern and high frequency services compared to other states, I think that coach loco sets are terrible in comparison and PT should start increasing the fleet of long distance VLOs other than unit 93/94. Or maybe they can order other rolling stock like DMU Amtrak Acela units or Spirit of Queensland trains albeit being quite the investment.

One thing this video did exhibit was the decline of this line over the years along with much of the infrastructure over Victoria and indeed the rest of Australia. Evident with evidence of sights of lots of abandoned infrastructure. Only back in the 70’s the towns along the way were thriving hubs of transport, eg, Geelong, Colac, Camperdown and Terang. Warrnambool beyond the main station on a remanent of the abandoned Port Fairy line being the only place where any significant freight activity is taking place. With through links to Timboon, Mortlake and Port Fairey closed. And soon the loss of one of the few remaining loco hauled services for so called more acceptable Velocity services. RIP Victorian Railway’s, your best days are behind you.🇦🇺

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

It's sad that the railways were allowed to decline (similar to the tramways in many major cities) but some states (in particular Victoria) are investing a lot of money in urban and regional railways, so I think that's positive. Of course, more could always be done - but I'm glad to see more recognition for the role that rail can play.

They should upgrade Portland port and rail links as it has a deep water harbour. A proper railway along the coast could piggy back on those freight train tracks.
