I thank the Member for Richmond for her question.
Bicycles can be carried for free on the following V/Line scheduled coach services, if there is space available. They will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis only:
- Beechworth - Wangaratta
- Bright - Wangaratta
- Corowa/Rutherglen - Wangaratta
- Mulwala/Yarrawonga - Benalla
- Wangaratta - Bendigo
Customers must load and unload their bicycles onto the coach.
Bicycles are carried at the owner’s risk. Bicycles are not permitted on any other timetabled V/Line coach services, with the exception of folding bicycles.
Folding bicycles can be carried for free on all V/Line coaches as long as they:
- do not exceed the dimensions of 82cm long x 69cm high x 39cm wide
- have wheel rims no more than 20 inches (51 cm) in diameter
- can be folded up and must be placed in a bag or appropriately sized cover as they are often stored in the luggage hold under the coach with other customer luggage.
Folding bicycles cannot be stored in overhead luggage racks.
V/Line is aware of the increasing demand for bicycles to be allowed on coach services and has a specification for new coaches to have higher luggage bins for carrying bicycles. V/Line hopes to be able to open more services for carrying bicycles in the future.
