The majority of operations throughout its history have been government run: from its first service in 1889 until the 1999 privatisation of Melbourne's rail network, four different government operators have run the line.<ref>"Melbourne's Rail Network to be Split" ''[[Railway Digest]]'' November 1997 page 12</ref> These operators, [[Victorian Railways]], the [[Metropolitan Transit Authority (Victoria)|Metropolitan Transit Authority]], the [[Public Transport Corporation]], and Hillside Trains have a combined operational length of 110 years. Hillside Trains was privatised in August 1999 and later rebranded [[Connex Melbourne]]. [[Metro Trains Melbourne]], the current private operator, then took over the operations in 2009.
