In the “reliability” category, 89 per cent of trains on the Bendigo line were given a pass, compared with 98 per cent in December.
The data comes amid a crisis for V/Line that has already led to the resignation of CEO Theo Taifalos.
Opposition public transport spokesman David Hodgett said Premier Daniel Andrews and Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan had created a “train wreck” of the state’s regional rail network.
