Things are getting better and better... Wonder if you can run a steam train or just one carriage in the name of reduced capacity.. @VLine @VLine_geelong @fake_vline @VLinefail

@P_Gregor @vline_geelong @vlinefail I hear ya. Delays, shortened overcrowded trains and long trips home with trains consistently terminated early and no sign of any improvements is frustrating to say the least. And they upped the fares?🤔

.@VLine acts like every other Gov dept. No accountability, no transparency, no trust, no action. Change is coming. Across the board people are sick of it and we’re just warming up. @CCouzensMP @LisanevilleMP @DarrenBarwon @GayleTierney @johnerenmp @r_riordanmp @Geelong_Mayor

If I have to return to work I’d rather to do it on @portphilferries with a bike commute. Yarra speed restrictions have been eased shaving 10 minutes off the trip. @CCouzensMP @LisanevilleMP @DanielAndrewsMP @DarrenBarwon @GayleTierney @johnerenmp @JaalaPulford @Geelong_Mayor

@vline_geelong This is a joke right?... have you guys noticed how many services have been cancelled/reduced the last few weeks? I’ll be booking a hotel in the city so I can actually get there.. thanks but no thanks VLine

@vline_geelong So hundreds of people can't get to work because @vline can't handle if one person calls in "sick"?? Maybe its time to train the platform announcers (who do little more than repeat the automatic messages) to drive trains to cover a sickie?

There’s going to be a lot of pissed off people at Footscray when they realise that half of the 5.32 @vline_geelong ended up departing & left the broken half behind! Travelling in comfort for once with a seat to myself...

@vline_geelong This would be hilarious if I wasn’t waiting for that train. Now the 5:41 South Geelong is a 6pm to Geelong??? And I have to change onto another train to get home. The offer still stands @DanielAndrewsMP come ride VLine with me and experience it for yourself.. @vlinefail

So this service is now terminating at Marshall not Waurn Ponds. Thanks. It also turns out the worsening over-crowding is due to the new timetable adding a stop at Deer Park. So new timetable punishes Geelong commuters being slower and more crowded. Marvellous.

Here is, @vline_geelong and #worldclassrail on the 18.35 SthnX-WaurnP. No safety issue. Over priced, over crowded, unreliable, standing-room, depression factory👏 @CCouzensMP @LisanevilleMP @DanielAndrewsMP @michaelasettle @r_riordanmp @DarrenBarwon @GayleTierney @johnerenmp

@vline_geelong You also cancelled the 4.48pm train. How on earth do you expect travellers to get home in this heat? Are you wanting to continue to lose commuters to use @portphilferries? @DanielAndrewsMP your silence on this issue is deafening!

@steamnbundy @vline_geelong @CCouzensMP @LisanevilleMP @DanielAndrewsMP @michaelasettle @r_riordanmp @DarrenBarwon @GayleTierney @johnerenmp @portphilferries Sure, when the ferry fails a thousand times, I’ll change the name. I still catch V/Line, I just want a first world service for Geelong commuters and will continue to lobby to get that. Your loyalty to your employer V/Line is admirable.

@steamnbundy @vline_geelong @CCouzensMP @LisanevilleMP @DanielAndrewsMP @michaelasettle @r_riordanmp @DarrenBarwon @GayleTierney @johnerenmp The brand new ferry would have to fail a hundred times and I would have to lose 3 months of my life before it got anywhere near the lost hours and the shitshow that is @vline_geelong. For now, I’ll take that chance. @portphilferries

@aussieHongKong @vline_geelong @portphilferries @CCouzensMP @LibbyCokerMP @DanielAndrewsMP @GayleTierney @johnerenmp They have a long term plan with some Gov subsidies. Portarlington service has been well used so I expect it to pick up. It all depends on whether Geelong gets behind it.

@TedMcdonnell @vline_geelong @portphilferries @CCouzensMP @LibbyCokerMP @DanielAndrewsMP @GayleTierney @johnerenmp It also says ‘and here is the arvo ferry home’. Thought it was pretty clear, given the text and order of images.

@TedMcdonnell @vline_geelong @portphilferries @CCouzensMP @LibbyCokerMP @DanielAndrewsMP @GayleTierney @johnerenmp Twisties and beer was at 7pm last night. And no this is not an ad. I have no interest in the ferry except for a dislike of V/Line
