Hop on board as we take the fastest service from Melbourne to Bendigo on the 16:52 express service to Eaglehawk stopping at Footscray (pickup only), Castlemaine, Kangaroo Flat, and Bendigo before continuing to Eaglehawk. So sit back and relax as we traverse through the Deniliquin line at speeds of up to 160 km/h bypassing many of the stations that Bendigo services usually call at.
