Track RecordVictoria’s Public Transport ServicesPayments by the State to the regional rail operator (V/Line Passenger) – including payments for coach services directlycontracted by V/Line – are summarised in total in Table 9. Farebox revenue is retained by V/Line and is included under‘Payment type’ to provide an overall indication of the cost of the services. State contract payments represent the netpayments required for V/Line Passenger to run the services.From the March quarter 2005, a new payment commenced for V/Line (rolling stock). This payment is for the new V/Locitytrains being delivered from the start of 2005 as part of the Regional Fast Rail project.As a result of service disruptions associated with Regional Fast Rail and works at Southern Cross Station, OPR incentivepayments for V/Line Passenger presently apply only to cancellations and short-run services. This arrangement has appliedfrom 1 July 2005 and will continue until the end of the current high level of disruptions resulting from these projects.Unplanned delays will not be penalised during this period, as it is difficult to distinguish State project impacts from normaloperational issues.Under this revised incentive arrangement, V/Line Passenger paid a penalty to the State of $0.54 million for below-targetperformance over the June quarter 2006.Table 9.
