also "Retvrn", a term used by people who support the idea of extending the regional passenger rail network in the Australian state of Victoria, returning it to its former glory. Derived from 'return' (because the regional passenger rail network in Victoria used to be bigger) and 'V/Line' (the operator of the regional passenger rail network, considered a holy entity by some train enthusiasts).
We need to retv/rn the train service to Mildura.
