Melbourne Region
The city of Melbourne has a large network of railway lines, for both suburban passenger, interurban and intercity passenger, and freight services. A number of goods only lines also exist, in addition to a large number of open and closed goods sidings and branch lines.
Rail lines
Geelong and Warrnambool | |
The Geelong Railway was originally built joining the Williamstown Railway, but is now considered the main line. It carries freight and passenger services out of Melbourne, as well as suburban traffic as far as Werribee. | |
Regional Rail Link | |
Since 2014 V/Line services from the west of Victoria have been progressively moved onto the new Regional Rail Link tracks, allowing them to avoid suburban services. | |
