00:00There's also though a fourth weekend return service to Warrnambool. That is a return on
00:07the Saturday and another return on the Sunday. So that now means that we have the five weekday
00:14returns to Warrnambool. We will now have four weekday returns on the weekend and a fifth coming
00:20online next year and we'll have more to say about that in due course. In addition from the 1st of
00:27November we'll be rolling out velocity trains across the Warrnambool network. They will come
00:33online incrementally until next year they fully replace the classic fleet of train on the
00:40Warrnambool network. This is really important for reliability. Unfortunately we know that the
00:46Warrnambool line has been one of the most unreliable lines on the network and about half or slightly
00:53over half of the cancellations and the altered services have been a consequence of rolling stock
00:59failure. That's why putting modern reliable and accessible rolling stock on the line
01:05will deliver really significant uplifts for local.
