Travelling Around

Travellers to Victoria and Melbourne benefit from the compact

nature of the state and the transport system which is probably the

most accessible in the country. You can travel to country stations

on VLine's country network and to key regional locations on the

specifically accessible Sprinter Train before changing to accessible,

lift equipped coach services for the rest of your journey.

VELLING AROUND

Accessible coach travel is available to Adelaide and NSW.

TRA

Countrylink's XPT train provides accessible transport from

Melbourne to Canberra and Sydney.

Melbourne's suburbs are well catered for by the metropolitan rail

system, The Met. Eleven rail lines lead to the city's underground

loop system, while 62 key stations (July 1999) have been

nominated as Premium Stations with higher standards of

accessible facilities and staffing compared to others.
