 Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (13:41): Current V/Line services are forcing some passengers to stand or sit in the aisle all the way from Bairnsdale to Melbourne. We have recently had this government announce free weekend travel on V/Line services. I asked the minister if the rolling stock would be provided, and I got no answer, so clearly there is going to be no additional rolling stock. It is a waste of time providing these services when we do not have the capacity to take these passengers.
