As part of Victoria’s Big Build, the Sunbury Line Upgrade will deliver major track, power and station platform upgrades to enable more modern trains to run on the line.

Sunbury Line passengers will experience disruptions to their train services at various times from June to early July, while Sunbury Line Upgrade works take place. 

Buses replace trains as follows:

Please allow extra time for your journey. If you can, avoid peak times and travel before 7am or after 9am. A range of buses will operate to help make your journey as direct as possible. Please see attached a brochure for further information.A number of car park and on-street parking changes will also be in place at stations between Flagstaff and Sunbury to allow for the safe operation of train replacement buses and construction works. 

Coaches will also replace V/Line services on the Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill lines, and on evenings and weekends on the Ballarat and Geelong lines.

Health and safety

The health and safety of our workers and the community is our key priority as we continue to upgrade the Sunbury Line, as is supporting physical distancing measures in line with current health advice. 

We have strict protocols in place to protect the safety of our construction workforce, including enhanced industrial cleaning arrangements, provision of personal protective equipment and measures to reduce staff contact, including staggered shifts.

There is also increased cleaning across the public transport network to slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), including rail replacement buses. 

This includes nightly sanitation of all trains, trams, and buses, including wiping down all touch surfaces using disinfectant. There will also be enhanced cleaning during bus layovers at major interchanges.

All Victorians are being asked to stay safe by maintaining good hygiene, keeping your distance from others and if you feel unwell stay home.
