Do V-line trains have Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi Connectivity on V/Line Trains

V/Line trains currently do not offer Wi-Fi connectivity to passengers. While some trains may have been equipped with Wi-Fi in the past, this service has since been discontinued.

For travelers relying on internet connectivity during their journey, this lack of Wi-Fi can be a significant inconvenience. Mobile phone coverage can also be unreliable in certain areas of Victoria, making it difficult to stay connected without a dedicated Wi-Fi network.

This lack of Wi-Fi has drawn criticism from passengers who have come to expect such connectivity on public transportation. Many other train services around the world now offer free or paid Wi-Fi as a standard amenity, allowing passengers to work, browse the internet, or stream entertainment during their travels.

V/Line has not publicly announced any plans to implement Wi-Fi on its trains. However, as technology continues to improve and passenger demand for connectivity increases, it is possible that V/Line may consider adding Wi-Fi to its services in the future.

In the meantime, passengers traveling on V/Line trains are advised to make arrangements for alternative internet access. This could involve downloading content or making preparations to use their mobile phone’s data connection, recognizing that coverage may be limited.
