Notes:

The operator of V/Line (National Express) has quit its V/Line, M Train and M Tram contracts with the State Government. However, V/Line will continue to operate, and I can confirm that all of V/Line’s frequencies will be remaining the same, after many phone calls, and some field research since they pulled out on Tuesday 17/12/2002

 

These frequencies are used by train drivers across Victoria  to communicate with the V/Line Control Centre (heard on air as “Centrol,” which is located at Spencer St Railway Station, and at every country Victorian station (look for the huge antenna’s)

 

Many frequencies are low-powered and will only be heard if you are near enough to the transmitter/repeater site.

 

Any frequencies not listed here, is because they belong to other Rail Services, however, the next page contains all the frequencies for Puffing Billy, Steam Rail Victoria, West Coast Rail and any other rail service in Victoria that is not owned by the State, like Freight Australia (Federal Allocation)

 

Many of the V/Line frequencies will match those of interstate rail authorities. (I heard a Centrol operator tell a Train driver to contact Adelaide Control on Ch 12 (V/Line) and was able to listen and confirm this).
