During 2015, we managed the installation of new passenger information systems at V/Line stations.
We rolled out the new technology at 33 stations on the Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Gippsland lines, to give regional train travellers access to real-time travel information.
The equipment includes electronic displays, public address announcement messages and customer information points, which provide automated, accurate and timely information about train times, service changes and platform alterations.
They also allow V/Line to provide up-to-the-minute information to their customers if there is a disruption or incident.
As the information is provided in both audio and visual formats, it is accessible by customers with hearing and visual impairments.
We installed the systems at the following stations:
Bendigo line
Clarkefield, Riddells Creek, Gisborne, Macedon, Woodend, Kyneton, Malmsbury, Castlemaine, Kangaroo Flat, Bendigo
Gippsland line
Nar Nar Goon, Tynong, Garfield, Bunyip, Longwarry, Drouin, Warragul, Yarragon, Trafalgar, Moe Morwell, Traralgon
Geelong line
Little River, Lara, Corio, Geelong, North Shore, North Geelong
Ballarat line
Rockbank, Melton, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Ballarat
We managed the project on behalf of Public Transport Victoria. Works were carried out on our behalf by contractors 4Tel, Axent, Metromatics and Linktech.
