A bushfire in Little River has impacted the V/Line services on the Geelong line for the remainder of the day.

This includes the 5:43pm service departing the Warrnambool Station.

Coaches have been put in place to cater for the service, the line will remain closed until further notice.

People travelling to Melbourne via the Princes Highway are also advised to be aware of detours in the Little River area, and avoid the area if possible.
