    No need for two Vlos. Just have one Vlo arrive from Melbourne at the same the N arrives from Mildura. Turn them both around then both can depart on the return trip 15 minutes later.
    Right idea, but if it is like anywhere else in Australia for regional Pax the N will arrive late more often than not to miss the connection.

    Mmm not right.

    Turn around in 15min is very tight.

    In any event, Maryborough has 2 services per day, each way.
    The morning down is required to stay and form the afternoon up. That's 2 VLO. There's been vague talk of a 3rd service.

    The schedule I outlined gives scope for a late N up from Mildura.

    cheers
