V/Line's COVID recovery

V/Line VLocity trains at Southern Cross Station

V/Line's 2024-25 annual report has recently been tabled, so I wanted to take a look at their passenger numbers, how they're faring in the post-COVID world, and the long-term context of passenger growth. 

What's the Ballarat bus review looking at?

The Ballarat Bus Network is up for review (via DTP)

This year's Victorian budget included funds for a review of Ballarat's bus network, and I gave some high-level thoughts on what I think they should do in a previous post. 

Now the initial public consultation has started, so I want to dive into the ideas they're putting forward and the questions they're asking.
