Talk:Geelong V/Line rail service

Line guide
Just looking at the recent addition to the line guide, shouldnt the SG line be on the opposite side of the BG line?--Dan027 (talk) 12:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Fixed as you posted! I cleaned up the alignment of the SG in Melbourne as well as well. The North East is another that needs fixing, swapping sides and the SG crossing loops added as well. Wongm (talk) 12:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Now that Bairnsdale V/Line rail service has been merged to Traralgon V/Line rail service, Warrnambool V/Line rail service is now the only long-distance service with an article distinct from its "parent" commuter service where the route is shared. The arguments here are essentially the same as at that discussion: V/Line themselves describe the "Geelong line" without distinguishing the Warrnambool service (see page 12) and other reliable sources like the Auditor-General describe the network similarly (page 4). In the interests of verifiability, the article structure should align with what is described in reliable sources, rather than representing original research.

 * I do not find this convincing. Bairnsdale and Traralgon are fairly close. Warrnambool is more than 3 times further in time by rail from Melbourne than is Geelong. --Bduke (talk) 09:32, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Same. They don't even use the same rolling stock. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 09:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Except that's not how RS see it. For all intents and purposes the described relationship between the "Geelong line" and the "Warrnambool line" is the same as that between the "Traralgon line" and the "Bairnsdale line". (FWIW I argued against our article on the latter being renamed, because that's not what RS call it, so maybe we're just IARing on this subject...) Triptothecottage (talk) 21:49, 4 March 2020 (UTC).
 * I think it makes sense to merge the 2. The Warrnambool services are listed in the Geelong timetable as well. Ltdex (talk) 12:36, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
