EXTREME heat timetables will be in place on the V/Line network due to forecast hot temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, including the Swan Hill line.
A partial extreme heat timetable will be in place for services on the Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill lines, while a full extreme heat timetable will be in place for services on the Seymour and Shepparton lines.
Passengers have been urged to plan ahead and check the V/Line website for the extreme heat timetables and any changes to their services, as well as allow extra travel time.
Extreme heat speed restrictions are enforced when temperatures are forecast to exceed 36 degrees to reduce the likelihood of train and track faults, while also keeping passengers safe.
When an extreme heat timetable is in place, journey times will be extended as train speeds are reduced or services may be replaced by coaches for all or part of the journey.
There is drinking water on board V/Line trains, and passengers are also encouraged to travel with bottled water and wear cool clothing.
No V/Line train, scheduled coach or replacement coach services operate in a fire district while a catastrophic fire danger rating is in place for that district.
