Funded by the Victorian Government, and part of Victoria's 'Big Build' the Shepparton Line Upgrade is one of the longest continuous railway line upgrade projects in Victoria. It will deliver more frequent services and allow modern VLocity trains to travel to and from Shepparton for the first time. The $356 million Shepparton Line Upgrade will be delivered in three stages.

After a successful completion of stage 1 we are ready to commence Stage 2 works which include a new stabling facility north of Shepparton Station and platform extensions at Mooroopna, Murchison East, and Nagambie stations for the longer VLocity trains, as well as a crossing loop extension at Murchison East to give trains more room to pass each other in this section.

Train detection technology will be upgraded at 59 level crossings between Donnybrook and Shepparton to feature boom gates, bells, and flashing lights to improve safety for train passengers and road users to allow VLocity trains to travel on the line for the first time.
