New version is amazing. Can finally see the platform the train is departing from. Good job vline! On a side note, the app displays a bit strange on my s8+ due to the longer screen size. The button that displays the next 4 services at the bottom is partially up from the botton of the screen. Doesn't impact the app, but would be nice to have it optimised for newer phones and screens.

OMG IT SHOWS PLATFORM DETAILS! THANKYOU!!! Now, one other thing is that it would be great if it lets you go back a few minutes - after the train's scheduled departure has elapsed, it disappears from the screen. It would be good if you could go back and see what was there. A full timetable would be a better alternative using the same UI as the current main UI - Just let it allow you to go back and forth to the next 4 and previous 4 departures. The PDFs are too cumbersome for a phone.

Only has vline train stops and not vline bus services. The train doesnt stop in tallygaroopna, wunghu, numurkah or cobram but they are still a vline service. Absolutely useless for regional services.

Handy app until i temporarily changed my departure from location. Now it wont let me change it back. It will also randomly display trips to southern cross despite me being at a southern cross. It used to be accurate before the last update

Ryk Neethling

Took a few years, but finally I feel that I can say: "You nailed it". Thank you and well done! Now with platform information!

Katherine Lange

Would be useful if it was accurate and included trains running late, at the moment it's really just an electronic timetable and doesn't add anything

Great update. Shows platform to board on. Cleaner and sleek design. 5 stars

Narelle Liddell June 30, 2017

Love the platform information . Saves time looking at board for information . Would be great if you could add more than one station.

Tom R August 6, 2017

Love it. Be great if the time to departure was reflective of delays not timetabled times

Shane Strong May 31, 2017

Like it. Finally platform numbers. I also like arrival and departure information for Southern Cross.

Alex Gray May 26, 2017

Inaccurate piece of garbage...just like vline.

Robert Hulands July 30, 2017

A great app when working but can lock up have to uninstall and reinstall

ananth palanivel May 25, 2017

Unnecessary pop up is irritating

Lance Djordjevic May 25, 2017

Finally it tells you which platform the train is departing. 5 stars just for that.

Wolfgang Clemens July 4, 2017

Very impressive

Raju George May 26, 2017

Nice

Sublime

Tarzy Tea March 14, 2017

What is the point in having an app telling you the time a train is leaving the station, if it doesn't tell you that a train has been cancelled and still lists it as the next train? Update 15/3/17: still the same problem. Be nice to see some work done to improve this app

Nathan Gay February 28, 2017

When it works it's great. Unfortunately it doesn't work often and it crashes

Ben Jansen April 29, 2017

Simple to use but could be better. I recently shifted home from one town to another but there was no menu item to alter the "home " station.

Andrew McAlister May 17, 2017

Next 5 part does not tell final destination of train, or platform. But station departure boards show final destination but not stops in between. So to find platform at southern cross, my only clue is a train departure time. Clearly some usecases are required for testing.

Peter Navascues April 1, 2017

Doesn't tell you if your train is delayed still waiting for a train 20 minutes late

Dvvid McPherson March 4, 2017

Dose not work.

ruchie75 February 5, 2017

Very useful app.

adam rentsch October 15, 2016

No full timetable Can't look up the future timetable of a service (most basic use for such an app) to see what service options there are, only next 5 from a station. The trip planner doesn't fill this need (have to set a time), and the link to download a timetable pdf does not even work properly.

Suzanne Gleeson January 5, 2017

Clunky Slow. Daggy. Wish Offi still had access to these timetables cos it's the BEST PT app ever and this is a tricycle next to the Rolls Royce that is Offi.

Behind the times When will the app report platform numbers and real time information? It will actually be useful then

Stafford Austin September 27, 2016

Platforms Why do we still not have simply platform data. Yarra tram have loads of data in their app but vline can't even provide a platform number.

Jack Ashman December 7, 2015

Wrong times Says there isnt trains running today.. and says the next train is in 12 hours.. both wrong. Not helpful at all

Matt Hillier December 8, 2015

Next 5 Next 5 has no refresh button and keeps telling me there are no trains on the Geelong line in both directions. Certainly saw trains when I got to the station this morning. Have tried clicking between Live Line Status and back to Next 5 but it is still not updating. I have also just uninstalled it and reinstalled, still not working...

Tom Davis November 27, 2015

A good little app, but room for improvement This app is very useful and works well for me, however I haven't found a way to remove routes I don't need anymore. Good work otherwise though.

YS Tan November 25, 2015

Next 5 has a problem After editing a created Travel Plan I end up with another pair of travel plans, from 2 becomes 4, then 6,... Otherwise it looks better than previous version.

Justin Free August 11, 2016

Best Vline info app. Used to use this 12 months ago and loved it then. Now it's even better. Could only get better if it gave platform info from Southern Cross. That would be 6 stars. :)

Danielle Old March 4, 2016

Good app, tells me what time my trains are at but it really needs to sat what platform the trains will depart from at southern cross as I really do not like having to run from one end of the station to another trying to figure out where I need to be

David Staff February 13, 2016

Staffy Just doesn't work properly. Too hard to explain here. I suggest a developer tries to use this. Very disappointed.

Mizzy seabourne March 16, 2016

Good This app is handy but it could be improved by telling you how long delays are and if the trains have been councled and replayed by buses.

Hwen Cheng Yap February 25, 2016

Can't remove routes I can't seem to remove routes that I have previously set its quite annoying to have to scroll through irrelevant information before I reach the intended page.

Kelli Gillard November 11, 2015

App doesn't even open, just says loading App doesnt work, has been saying 'loading' for over 15mins

Rex Cowan November 11, 2015

Needs an undo Very good app. So far haven't been able to find out how to clear my settings and start over.

Kyla Corrigan September 10, 2016

Not working Uninstalling the app, not working at all. Absolutely useless if I have to ring V/line to get train times.
