The Train of Lights is back and kicks off this Friday for three big weeks!

To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, including those who plan to view the Train of Lights alongside the railway line, we encourage everyone to follow these important safety guidelines:

𝟏. 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 - If watching from the roadside, please adhere to all Victorian road rules, including speed limits, parking regulations, and traffic signs. Do not obstruct traffic flow, pathways, driveways, or access to nearby properties.
𝟐. 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - Always stay at least 3 metres away from the railway tracks. Trains can approach quickly and may have limited visibility, posing a danger to pedestrians. Follow all signs and instructions from event staff or authorities.
𝟑. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 - If you’re bringing children to see the Train of Lights, make sure they are supervised at all times.
𝟒. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - Ensure that you are visible to motorists. Wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight to increase your visibility in low-light conditions.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and secure environment for all.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at [email protected].

Enjoy the magic of the Train of Lights and stay safe, everyone!
