Kyneton travellers can now catch two new off-peak train services that hit the tracks last week.
A new V/Line timetable includes a new Melbourne-Bendigo service that passes through Kyneton at 8.49pm.
Another leaves Bendigo at 9.20pm and stops at Kyneton at 10.05pm.
Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the revised timetable would provide a boost to the regional train network.
“This is the next step in the better train network we’re building for regional Victoria – with more reliable, frequent services to get people home safer and sooner wherever they live,” Ms Allan said.
“Regional Victoria is growing and we’re making sure public transport grows with it – introducing more trains, building new stations and investing in the major projects we need to boost services across the state.”
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the revised timetable meant commuters could spend more time in either city and less time waiting between evening trains.
She said that another timetable change, scheduled for later this year, would introduce even more regional services.
“These new services on the Bendigo line will make a real difference, giving people more choice about when they travel and how they get home,” she said.
