The Melbourne to Dimboola Railway Line was once run by V/Line, unfortunately these services were withdrawn on the 21st August 1993 and now you can only access the Dimboola line via The Overland or a V/Line Road Coach. If V/Line could reopen the Melbourne - Dimboola Railway service it would serve the Horsham, Dooen and Haven regions as well as Dimboola. Ideally the Melbourne - Dimboola V/Line Railway Line would use the Myki Smart Ticketing System.

The estimated passengers for Horsham and Dimboola would be 2 thousand per year bringing additional revenue into the Horsham and Dimboola economies improving quality of life for the Horsham and Dimboola citizens. for instance the nearby Dooen road Milkbar would receive increased sales resulting in higher pay for the small family business.

Additionally the Horsham International Hotel (A budget luxury 4.5 star hotel) would also benefit from the increased tourism.

Horsham's May Park would get more visitors benefiting nearby business.

Horsham also has it's own non V/Line busses to navigate the locality as well as Horsham Taxi's.

Dimboola also has a tourist attraction (Little Desert National Park) as well as several local business.

So please PTV and V/Line consider reopening the Melbourne to dimboola railway line.

Thank you.
