Due to works on the Regional Rail Link, all trains are replaced by busses until the January 13. V-Line spokesperson Colin Tyrus said V-Line was confident that the busses would accommodate all.
“In the past our trains have had the capacity to take everyone from Melbourne to Ballarat and vice versa during the championships,” Mr Tyrus said.
“People won’t be able to take bicycles on the busses though, but it will be spectators travelling, not competitors so it wouldn’t be an issue.”
Cycling Australia commercial director Mike Edgely said the alteration wasn’t a concern.
“It’s a five day event, from today to Sunday, so people generally come and stay locally in the region and will drive,” Mr Tyrus said.
