Trains
Long-distance trains use Southern Cross Station (formerly Spencer Street) as their terminus. Although routes and services have been curtailed in recent years, the state is still reasonably well served by the V-Line services. Routes are operated by rail or by road, or by a combination of both. Amongst the destinations served by V-Line or others by rail are Geelong, Warrnambool, Ballarat, Bendigo, Swan Hill, Echuca, Shepparton, Albury and Sale. Amongst the destinations served by road are Apollo Bay, Mt. Gambier, Adelaide, Mildura, Griffith, Beechworth, Bright, Mansfield, Canberra, Phillip Island, Lakes Entrance and Bateman's Bay.

The New South Wales rail company, Countrylink, runs trains between Melbourne and Sydney, with road connexions to Canberra.

Great Southern Railway operates trains between Melbourne and Adelaide, with connexions to Perth, Alice Springs and Melbourne.

Buses
Long-distance buses use two different bus stations in the city centre. Services operated by V-Line, Premier and Firefly, as well as the Airport Bus service, use the bus station outside Spencer Street Station. Premier runs buses between Melbourne and Sydney via the coast. Firefly runs buses between Melbourne and Sydney by the direct inland route, and between Melbourne and Adelaide. Services operated by McCafferty's and Greyhound use a bus station in Franklin Street. McCafferty's and Greyhound operate buses between Melbourne and Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
