Vline strikes to ramp up - TL;DR: No Vline trains will run between 3am and 4pm on Friday, March 8 (www.vlineea.rtbuvic.com.au)
This hasn’t been picked up by mainstream media yet (hence the RTBU link), however Vline has rejected the unions demands once more, which has prompted them to escalate the strikes. This will probably mean no trains will be running before about 4:30-5pm, unless Vline decide to accept the unions demands.
