V/Line services
Mr T BULL (Gippsland East) (15:17): The latest V/Line train service performance figures that have been published show punctuality on the Bairnsdale line is sitting at 86.2 per cent, well below the 92 per cent target. East Gippsland residents are very reliant on that train service, using it to access medical appointments in the city and for work and educational purposes, and yet we are continually falling short of punctuality targets. I ask the minister to please explain why this is the case and what is being done to rectify the problem.
