Coaches will run instead of trains for some evening train services between Southern Cross and Bendigo, Epsom and Eaglehawk over the coming 10 days. The changes, which will affect services until Thursday, April 23, are due to track maintenance and renewal in a section of track shared by the Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong trains. There are also sleeper replacements under way on the Bendigo line. Passengers are advised to allow an extra 45 minutes for their journey.

The timetable can be downloaded from the V/Line website. Crews are currently replacing sleepers on the track between Bendigo and Castlemaine, but are about to start work on the track between Sunbury and Kyneton. Speed restrictions are in place along some sections to give the new concrete sleepers time to bed down. Have you signed up to the Bendigo Advertiser's daily newsletter and breaking news emails?
