    It's utterly ridiculous a major regional centre like Mildura does not have a passenger train service 😩

      It’s not like the track infrastructure isn’t there, as a freight service runs from Maryborough. There was a pricey report delivered last year that told us what we all knew, that Mildura needs a passenger rail service returned in tandem with air and coach services.

      It’s because the line between Ararat and Mildura was standardised

      Exactly & sadly It won't return thanks to the stuff up of the Murray Basin Rail Project.

      It's a big loss. Very inconvenient.

    I actually came back from Bendigo today on the Swan Hill train which I quite enjoy as I've done the Mildura trip many times but mainly the 6:08 service from Southern Cross which arrives In Mildura after midnight, Just a question on the day you took this trip were there many on the bus from Mildura I'm In Ouyen & we have been trying to get our passenger rail returned for years. Peter Walsh who is the Nationals MP for Murray Plains claims that most people who use the Swan Hill train come from Mildura In all my years of travelling on that train it's never been packed, only between Melbourne & Bendigo In the evenings.
    The Swan Hill & Mildura trains could operate happily together like they did back In the 80s & early 90s before the Vinelander was axed.

      The coach was full of people some tried to get on but the only just did and then it was full.
      The Train from Swan Hill was half to 3/4 full but not sure weather they were on the bus or not

      @@victoriantransportvideos Once when I went on the late night bus from Mildura to Melbourne they actually had to use 2 busses that's how many people were going down to Melbourne, It would be good If they had a connecting bus from Ouyen to Swan Hill wouldn't mind using the bus then.

    Hi does anybody know if there is a train or coach service from Sydney to Mildura?

    • @victoriantransportvideos
      @victoriantransportvideos  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There would most likely be a Transport NSW coach to Albury then to Sydney or similar.
      Maybe check google maps

    Does the train wait for coach to arrive? What if coach delayed?

      Ive never seen the train in Kerang wait for the coach to arrive. But I’d say so.
