Strong performance on tracks
V/LINE has continued its strong performance run throughout the first half of 2025.
Throughout June a reliability result of 99.3 per cent was recorded on the Warrnambool line, exceeding the 96 per cent monthly reliability target for percentage of services to run.
The result marks eight consecutive months the line has exceeded the reliability target.
The punctuality target was also reached for the month, with 94.6 per cent of services arriving at their destination on time – exceeding the 92 per cent monthly punctuality target.
The result marks the fourth consecutive month, and fifth time in 2025, the Warrnambool line has reached both the punctuality and reliability monthly targets.
V/Line has reached almost all of its performance targets in both punctuality and reliability over the first six months of the year, with the lone exception being an 89.8 per cent punctuality result in February.
A V/Line spokesperson said performance on the line had been consistent since the long-awaited arrival of the modern VLocity trains.
“Since the introduction of VLocity trains in November last year, the Warrnambool line has met the reliability target every month and also delivered strong punctuality results,” the spokesperson said.
“June was the fourth consecutive month where the line exceeded both reliability and punctuality targets, making it one of the top performing lines on our network.”
Throughout June there were more than 46,600 passenger trips taken on Warrnambool line trains.
This brings the first six months of 2025 to just under 278,000 trips by passengers on that line.
