Wi-Fi gift for commuters on regional train lines

It was a busy week for Northern Victoria MP Amanda Millar, who chaired several often-heated community consultation sessions over Sunbury’s secession from Hume.

She also boarded a train with Donna Petrovich, the Liberal Party candidate for Macedon in November’s state election, to publicise the Napthine government’s announcement it would fund the $40 million plan to fix mobile black spots and deliver free Wi-Fi for rail commuters on regional lines.

“More reliable internet services means commuters will be able to access emails, social media and work without the annoying service interruptions they currently have to deal with,” Ms Millar said.

New towers along the Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Seymour and Traralgon V/Line tracks will also give rail commuters more reliable mobile phone services.
