The express V/Line service from Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station will get you to Bendigo in just over 90 minutes. To travel by train, grab a Myki card, available for purchase at Southern Cross Station, online at ptv.vic.gov.au or the Bendigo Visitor Centre.
The Station is just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre including the View Street precinct, Chancery Lane, Rosalind Park and historic gold rush buildings. From here you can get the Bendigo Talking Tram (tickets required) to many of our iconic Bendigo attractions. A local bus service also operates around town, and you can use your Myki to catch these.
Regular train and bus services from Bendigo can also take you to other great places such as Maryborough, Castlemaine, Mildura, Swan Hill, Echuca, Daylesford, Ballarat and Geelong.
Fairer Fares in Regional Victoria with V/Line
No matter where you live in Victoria, it will cost you the same daily amount to travel by V/Line, local trains, buses, or trams. The most you’ll pay is the same as a daily capped fare, which is currently $10 or $5 for concession.
For shorter regional trips, it will be even less. And with weekend saver discounts, travel on Victoria’s regional network on weekends and public holidays, and your daily fare will currently only be $7.20 or $3.60 concession.
