During the 22 years of the Victorian state country passenger rail operator being known as V/Line, there has been six different liveries seen on its carriages.
 
These include:- VicRail
  V/Line MkI
  V/Line MkII
  VLP MkI
  VLP MkII
  VLP MkII No Logo

Note: MTH carriages had an orange and white livery which suited the livery of the DRC railcars they originally ran with, between 1984 and 1992. It would be appreciated if anyone with photos of this livery could please send me them and allow me to use them on V/LineCars.com.
