I have some conflicting opening dates of this line - 1889 and 1891. Does anybody know the truth? Cnwb 22:37, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
According The Whittlesea Railway by Robert Aquilina, the Reservoir to Whittlesea section was opened on December 20, 1889. Lokicarbis 11:28, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
The line is now double track to Epping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herestoree ( talk • contribs) 23:47, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of South Morang railway line's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:02, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
However, services continued on the Whittlesea line by road bus. The bus remained a Vic Rail tendered (Rather than MMBT tendered) private service until bus and rail re-organisation many years later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.200.27.15 ( talk • contribs) 09:49, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Sourcing appears in support of the originally proposed move. ( closed by non-admin page mover) EggRoll97 ( talk) 05:39, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
