Replacement coach service will stop at Pyramid Hill
V/Line will operate a limited coach replacement service tomorrow, Sunday January 11, between Swan Hill and Melbourne with a stop at Pyramid Hill.
Services on the Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill lines will continue to be significantly impacted after Friday's major fire at Ravenswood-Harcourt and passengers are advised to avoid unnecessary travel.
V/Line said: "Trains will remain suspended on the Bendigo Line, with a limited number of coach replacements to run between Kyneton and Southern Cross (not stopping at Watergardens and Footscray).
"Trains on the Swan Hill Line remain suspended with a limited number of replacement coaches to run between Swan Hill and Southern Cross, stopping at Kerang and Pyramid only, then running express to Southern Cross.
"Trains will remain suspended on the Echuca Line, with replacement coaches not available.
"Trains are still not able to run on these lines due to potential fire damage between Bendigo and Castlemaine. Once crews are given clearance to access the site, they will work as quickly and safely as possible to complete inspections and repair any damage so that services can resume.
"Coach replacement services are unable to be sourced for Bendigo and Echuca passengers tomorrow due to uncertain road conditions because of bushfires impacts, and coach and driver availability."
