Historical information

The Bendigo to Melbourne railway line was commenced in the 1850s by the Melbourne, Mt Alexander and Murray River Rail Company but was sold to the Victorian Government after financial troubles. The line was completed as a double track in 1862 with branch lines connecting smaller towns later on. The current service operates daily services to Bendigo, Swan Hill and Echuca.
