Travelling to and from Tarneit railway station
When Regional Rail Link is complete, V/Line trains travelling between Melbourne and Geelong will be stopping at the new Tarneit railway station, allowing passengers to board and alight in either direction.
Timetables and stopping patterns will be determined closer to the completion of the project, based on an assessment of demand and travel patterns.
The new railway station at Tarneit will be in metropolitan Zone 2. Passengers travelling between Tarneit and Melbourne's CBD will pay a Zone 1 & 2 fare, rather than a V/Line fare."
