The news didn't mention when will they start the reduction,

I know this route is always been a difficult route. From the start,
relatively small number of passengers travel in between these two city,
poor track, strong competition from bus ,air,cars and even V/line(Does
V/line get subsidy for "daylink"? ).

Apart from lowering the fare, GSR needs more marketing or look for wyas
of filling the seats example extension of Overland to Perth once a week
or extend from Melbourne end to Sydney.

Just an idea....
