If you live west of Melbourne and plan on heading to Carlton’s clash with Essendon on Saturday then you could be impacted by regional rail works. 

Geelong VLine trains will be replaced by buses from 10.30pm on Thursday 28 August until the last service on Sunday 31 August.

Commuters who would usually make their way to Melbourne via the Geelong VLine service are being advised to allow an extra 60 minutes for their journey. 

You can check the timetable using the "Plan Journey" tool at vline.com.au.

Carlton takes on Essendon at the MCG on Saturday at 1.45pm AEST.
