I've heard the Warrnambool line has similar issues too (plus it overlaps with the Geelong line)

    I wouldn’t call the Warrnambool service busy compared to Albury. But they do get delayed behind Geelong trains a lot.

    I haven't actually caught the Albury line in years so fair call!

    I've done both of them in the recent months and I found Albury to be busier than the Warrnambool line was. Warrnambool seemed packed, but really it was only the first car. I ended up moving seats because the other 3 or 4 cars were almost empty, it was only really the former first class car everyone really wanted to sit in. Albury I actually struggled to get a ticket on for a while and ended up sitting in a full of a seats with people on all sides of me (not necessarily an issue, just not something I had happen on the Warrnambool line in either direction)
