Services
On the broad gauge line, Metro Trains Melbourne operates suburban passenger services along the inner section of the line as the Craigieburn line, while V/Line services operate as the Interurban Seymour and Shepparton lines. Freight services, operated by Pacific National, also use the line.
The standard gauge line sees use by CountryLink XPT services to Sydney and V/Line services to Albury-Wodonga, as well as being a major interstate freight link used by Pacific National, QRNational, and Australian Railroad Group.
Between Melbourne and Seymour the route consists of two broad gauge tracks with a single standard gauge track running alongside. North of Seymour, the broad gauge line branches to Shepparton and two standard gauge tracks continue to Albury. Both lines are owned by VicTrack, the broad gauge line managed by V/Line, and the standard gauge line by the Australian Rail Track Corporation.

So I do rather feel, by and large,

But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
