i am catching a vline train next week and yes it's free, but i figure only the first train of the day (7.20 from Southern Cross) will have seats available. You can book a seat on a long distance bus (check vline website) so if you need a seat then this may be a better option. #melbourne #ptv
on free vline travel. [update] You can only book seats on long distance buses. So you need to join the service where it starts if you can. Also be prepared for the possibility that your travel cannot proceed because the service is full. Honestly I think this is a really dumb idea - the fares were already quite cheap. . #auspol #ptv [I went to the train station and had to convince them that they actually could do a booking. But eventually I got one on the bus. Not on the train though, that is first come first served.] [further update. You can book all long distance buses so they are a better choice for longer journeys)]

Leading on from yesterday here is another bad disruption notice on the Transport Victoria website.

Amongst other things, it tells people to catch a Glen Waverley train from Camberwell Station, and a Craigieburn train from Footscray Station. All completely wrong.
