The line was booked out of service last year. I take it that means the line is closed?

Robinvale was recently re-opened for traffic. No idea what the go is with Kulwin.
A bus is a glorified toaster on wheels.

The last train to travel on the Eaglehawk to Inglewood line was an ElZorro grainy, would have been 6 months or so ago. To Birchip or somewhere of the like. Can't remember don't really care, but it wasn't that long ago anyway.

Not for some time - in fact, does it even still run at all?
When it did run, it connected off 9141/9140 Mildura.
Anonymous - and proud of it.

Boort goods no longer runs via Bendigo. It goes through Ballarat and is attached to the Melbourne bound fruite. (If both trains are still running)
