Overthe full year, the North (via Seymour), East and North (via Bendigo) corridors showed fewer cancellations per month thanthe South West and West. It is worth noting that the latter corridors have considerably higher numbers of services than theformer.Cancellations on the North (via Seymour) and North (via Bendigo) corridors were generally low throughout 2005–06, withthe exception of the Sunbury services which had a relatively high level of cancellations, particularly in January 2006.On the East corridor, Traralgon services had a relatively high number of cancellations compared with Warragul, Bairnsdaleand Sale.Ballarat (West corridor) services experienced one of the highest number of monthly cancellations across the V/Linenetwork, largely due to signalling issues in May 2006.On the South West corridor, Geelong services experienced a relatively high number of cancellations in September 2005,due to a fatality at North Shore and signal failure resulting from a lightning strike at Werribee. Total cancellations forGeelong were also amongst the highest for the V/Line network, mainly due to the large number of services operating on thisline. Overall however, reliability for Geelong (at 1.0 per cent of services cancelled) was equal to the network average for2005–06.34
