My constituency question is to the Minister for Public Transport. After years of problems with rail services to the Northern Victorian region, we have now learnt again that only 69% of V Line train services on the North East Line arrived on time in January; and only 88% of train services were even delivered at all, with 22 trains cancelled completely. I wish to ask the Minister for the latest update on progress on the North East Line Upgrade? And, in the meantime, why my constituents in Northern Victoria continue to endure such substandard services, particularly on the North East Line and to Seymour and Shepparton? And why so much more funding is regularly allocated to rail services in other areas of the State than Northern Victoria?
