8861 South Geelong 16/03/2024

After stopping at Geelong for passengers to board and disembark, V/Line passenger service 8861 from Southern Cross to Warrnambool runs express through South Geelong past GMHBA stadium behind N473 on Saturday the 16th of March 2024.

V/Line’s locomotive hauled passenger services are currently in their dying days, with the N class hauled trains only running on a handful of lines on selected services to Bairnsdale, Warrnambool and Swan Hill, as well as some weekday peak services to Geelong. It's expected the longer distance runs will remain for some time to enable track upgrades and stabling facilities for VLocity railcars to be built during the first half of the year.
