New look Overland train set to roll out
May 8, 2007 - 7:34AM
The new look Overland Train will roll out of Melbourne for the first time after a $4 million makeover.
The interstate passenger service connecting Melbourne and Adelaide has been refurbished under a joint project between the South Australian and Victorian governments and Great Southern Railway.
Victorian transport minister Lynne Kosky said passengers could now look forward to a more comfortable journey.
"The refurbishment includes new seating with more leg room in two classes of sit up service, fully refurbished carriage interiors plus a new cafe carriage that will provide passengers with a comfortable and thoroughly modern travel experience," she said.
The Overland is Australia's longest running interstate passenger train.
The refurbishment comes after a timetable overhaul last year that saw the overnight service replaced with a daytime schedule.
This provided a more user friendly service for passengers embarking in the regional centres of Murray Bridge, Bordertown, Nhill, Dimboola, Horsham, Ararat and Geelong, Ms Kosky said.
