WITH the number of seats and carriages across V/Line services declining, regional Victorians are likely to be impacted the most by future public transport options.

While the State Government announced increased funding to V/Line, the 2023-24 annual report has shown a net decrease in rolling stock carriages of 24, as the retirement of loco-hauled carriages are not replaced by VLocity carriages at the same rate.
