There have been a few rumours floating around for a while which I haven't
given much standing to, but I made a not of them anyway. I now have enough
to justify an article to see if anybody knows anything.

New 12.35 up and 12.55 down Shepparton on weekdays. 14.55 up to be altered
to about 17.00 up.

20.29 (M-F) and 17.03 (Sun) Traralgon to be extended to Sale. To form 6.35
up (M-F, replacing 7.03 up Traralgon) and 6.00 up (Sat, replacing 6.30 up
Traralgon). Possible additional afternoon down/evening up Warragul EMU on
Saturdays.

New 16.00 up Warrnambool on Saturdays. Possible balancing workings to be a
new 12.30 down opn Saturdays or a 9.30 down on Sundays. Possible seasonal
steam haulage of 8.43 down and 16.00 up on Saturdays. Possible reopening
of Moriac as a passenger station. (Craig?)

I also recently posted an idea for a 6.00 up Bendigo on Saturdays
(replacing the 6.45 up Kyneton) formed by extending the 21.40 Kyneton to
Bendigo on Fridays. I have snce had a message that such a change was
already under consideration.

Cheers
