While frustrating, this hasn't been done to piss off or inconvenience football commuters, and also not sure you can put this one totally on Vline considering it's a joint project with the regional roads project in the Barwon Heads Rd upgrade
This is what they're currently working on & interruptions are a weekly weekend thing for the time being:
Due to V/Line works and the construction of a rail bridge at Marshall for the Barwon Heads Road Upgrade Project, coaches replace trains on the Geelong Line for all or part of the journey from Friday night 2 to Tuesday 6 September.
It's coincidental that the planned works are occurring with Geelong playing in Melbourne on Saturday - but things will likely get worse over the next year or so as they work on the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds rail line duplication
And these works would have been planned months in advance. Hindsight is great but these huge projects often don't have the flexibility to change plans at short notice.
