Internal 3-letter codes and distances in kilometres from Southern Cross for each V/Line station or location across the network.
Dear Victorian Department of Transport and Planning,
I am writing to request access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (VIC).
I seek access to documents, datasets, tables, or internal references that list all V/Line station and location names, along with their associated internal 3-letter codes and their distance in kilometres from Southern Cross Station.
This request specifically relates to the codes used internally by V/Line, which may differ from those used by Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) and VNet.
If available, I request the information be provided in an electronic format (e.g. Excel, CSV, or PDF).
Please contact me if you require clarification to process this request.
Yours faithfully,
Jack Jacobs
