The Andrews Labor Government has delivered 100 locally built high-speed VLocity trains improving connectivity for regional Victorians.

The one hundredth regional VLocity train hit the tracks on the Warun Ponds to Southern Cross line line today. The now 100-strong VLocity fleet has travelled millions of kilometres, made tens of thousands of trips and moved millions of passengers since the first service – supporting thousands of high skilled jobs.

The 100th train will be added to V/Line’s growing broad gauge VLocity fleet and provide fast and comfortable journeys across Victoria’s regional rail network.

The entire VLocity fleet has the capacity to move more than 21,000 passengers – the equivalent to moving the entire population of Wangaratta at once.

The Labor Government provided funding to build an additional 12 new VLocity trains in the 2022/2023 State Budget.

Since 2015, the government has delivered a 40 per cent increase in regional rail services, with V/Line now running more than 2,200 services every week.

These investments are part of the government’s continued commitment to improving public transport for all Victorians – no matter where they live.

Since 2015, the government has invested more than $8 billion in rolling stock and infrastructure – including more than $1.4 billion specifically for VLocity trains – supporting 10,000 local jobs.
