Pakenham/Cranbourne lines: Buses replace trains Westall -Pakenham/Cranbourne until last train on Sun 16 Dec while train network upgrades take place.
8.16 Mernda Line: Minor delays.  A train with a fault at Middle Gorge had to be taken out of service.
- 8.17 It's 17 minutes to the next train at Thornbury. Surely more than one cancellation.
- 8.18 Two cancellations and the next one delayed by 13 minutes at Reservoir. Ridiculous.
- 8.19 OMG what a joke!
- 8.20 And thanks for smoking us all out at South Morang.  All I can smell now is burnt rubber.
- 8.23 The train removed from service is being sent to our maintenance depot at Epping to be checked/fixed.
- 8.24 Ah good. There will definitely be room on the next one and the one after that.
- 8.27 Major delays.
- 8.29 The delay is not minor I waited at Lalor and for three train you kept saying that there was a delay by 10 min.  The 10 min would go by and that specific train would not arrive instead an announcement would come on saying that the following train would be delayed by 10 min and no mention of...
- 8.31 We have updated our current advice: major delays, up to 20 min, possible cancellations.
- 8.31 Cancellation for that one. This happened at least three times in a row; now we are squashed on the train like sardines, on a 38 degree day.
- 8.32 I just left South Morang, and am sure that by the time we reach you guys you'll be struggling to get on. Metro, I hope cancelling the extra trains was worth it to protect your precious performance goals.
- 8.32 Are you running trains? The 8.15, 8.22 and 8.28 from Croxton have not arrived. Are they all cancelled?
- 8.35 The goals won’t be met; don't worry about that.  There will be many formal complaints.
- 8.35 we have sent messages re the issue to metroNotify app.
- 8.36 I don't care if I'm late for work tbh...that smell...just make them all defective.
- 8.48 Interesting announcements: "8.45 to Flinders St will not run; next train will be 8.47 to Flinders St". 8.47 does not exist. And the electronic board says that the next train is the 8.32.
- 8.50 8.32 arrived 18 min late, too full to get on. Good job!
- 8.56 Thank you for the comedy controller this morning. Very much appreciated.
10.45 Werribee Line: Major delays (police).
- 10.59 The driver on our delayed train is awesome. Keeping us updated - thank you.
11.16 Mernda/Hurstbridge Outbound delays over 20 minutes (a tree branch across the line in the Jolimont - West Richmond area).
- 11.31 Delays up to 20 minutes.
- 11.48 Delays  up to 15 minutes
13.00 Frankston line: Minor delays (police). Trains may be held.
- 13.04 clearing.
15.43 Cranbourne/Pakenham lines: Major delays (an equipment fault between Carnegie and Murrumbeena).  Trains may be held. [under a year old, and a tunnel and new trains won't fix it].- 15.46 How much extra time do you guys need?  The journey is already extended by one hour.
- 15.47 I can’t believe it.  It takes just a 37° hot day to cause a signalling fault. I wouldn’t have thought that this would be a problem with the new infrastructure.
- 15.48 So why did a train depart from Caulfield, just to get stuck behind another train AFTER this was announced?
- Probably because the driver mate was not checking twitter.
- 15.49 You had to do one job today. Take us, not to Cranbourne, not to Pakenham. Just to Westall.  You failed at that too.
- 15.52 Disappointed but not surprised.
- 15.55 I won’t blame the weather; the equipment failure happens every week.
- 15.58 Hasn’t all the signalling just been replaced during level-crossing elimination?
- 15.59 Buses to replace trains between Caulfield and Westall.  Buses have been ordered, but may take over 1 hour to arrive; consider alternative transport.
- 16.08 Buses are already in operation between Westall and Cranbourne/Pakenham.
- 16.09 Is this a joke or what?
- 16.10 How does that help anyone?
- 16.17 Looks like I will be getting the route 900 bus.  Care to elaborate on "equiptment fault?" Or is that all you know at this stage?
- 16.19 You advertise free transport but there will be hardly any trains or buses ... way to go champions.
- 16.21 Certainly helps those currently stuck on trains.
- 16.22 900 is to Monash Campus, Clayton. I don't see a point in getting down at Oakleigh.  I can't see any trains at platforms.
- 16.24 the 900 between Huntingdale and Caulfield roughly follows the alignment of the rail line, so it is a good option.
- 16.24 Because of limited bus availability, passengers are advised to defer travel plans or seek alternative transport.
- 16.28 Care to elaborate on what alternative transport there is?
- Taxi at 40 bucks.
- In the words of metro ‘make alternative arrangement’.
- 16.30 I stood at Hughesdale station for half an hour waiting for a train, yet the customer service person working didn’t tell anyone about this despite this tweet going out half an hour ago. Not ideal to be standing in 37 degree weather while unhelpful people let us.
- 16.30 That’s an elevated section. What kind of equipment fault - is it the heat - how does it get accessed to be repaired?
- I’m also curious about the nature of this fault and how it was fixed. Did they get back to you with an answer?
- no they did not. I read somewhere it was a signal fault & they couldn’t repair it while trains were running.
- Interesting. If it was a signal fault, that would have prevented trains from running. I’ll dig further.
- 16.30 Explain how come this shit keep on happening on  this line that too stations which are newly constructed.
- 16.32 Can't even run a service properly till Westall. Disgraceful!
- 16.33 Temperature soaring, and you incapable guys managing the trains. What maintenance do you guys ever do?
- 16.34 Passengera should use bus routes 900 Caulfield - Oakleigh, 624 Caulfield - Murrumbeena, 733 Oakleigh - Clayton and 824 Calyton - Westall. [Links to alternative transport options given].
- 16.36 Defer travel, seriously?
- 16.40 There’s nothing between Carnegie and Murrumbeena now elevated is in place?
- 16.42 Awesome weekend customer experience. Unreal timing. Kudos metro!
- 16.44 I saw an elderly person standing at the bus stop squeezing with all other passengers with no shades provided in a 37° weather. Inhumane!
- 16.45 I have a yearly pass with PTV, and you always give shocking surprises specially on a very hot day.  Would you compensate me if I call uber to pick me from Caulfield because I purchased for something you didn't deliver, and you are suggesting to take alternative transport?
- 17.02 Haven’t we suffered enough?
- Metro have many ways to make you suffer.
- 17.11 Metro is a disgrace to humanity!
- 17.11 Thanks Metro for your services...from next week I will start walking to my work place instead of taking Metro train...Seriously differ travel....you are not able to coupe up with this and great news is that you are going to operate 'high capacity' trains.
- 17.12 We have 18 buses in operation, with more to come, but it is extremely busy.
- 17.27 This is the arrangement which I see at Caulfield station, no volunteers and no arrangements.  Please have some respect and maintain a standard.
- 17.29 Why is everyone complaining? Perfect timing to go and enjoy a delicious frothy while they get their act together.
- 17.32 For stations in between Caulfield and Westall please consider alternative transport: Carnegie; bus route 900 from Caulfield. Murrumbeena; bus route 624 from Caulfield.
- Hughesdale; bus route 900 from Caulfield to Chadstone shopping centre and change for bus route 767 to Hughesdale. Oakleigh; bus route 900 from Caulfield.
- Huntingdale; bus route 900 from Caulfield. Clayton; bus route 900 from Caulfield to Monash University and change for bus routes 631, 703 or 733 to Clayton.
- 17.36 At least we're not paying for this lack of service.
- 17.42 You need more buses.
- 17.43 Metro can work only at room temperature.. Not on cold and hot weather. Shame on how you are closing your eyes. Decades of ignorance.
- 17.49 We have 30 buses in operation, with more to come, but it is still extremely busy.
- 18.02 Metro lining Uber pockets.
- 18.05 Why does your equipment never work you modasockas?
- 18.14 It’s chaos out there, but the cold beer at the Racecourse is very placating.
- 18.22 It is a bit hard to defer travel plans when you need to get home from work. The announcement said that the fault was between Carnegie and Murumbeena- is this equipment new? If so why is it failing?
- 18.23 What the actual f@#$$. A newly-built line and you can't get your equipment to work.  Where did you get it from? Ebay China?
- 18.25 Westall train stopped at Malvern; can't make our a word your driver is saying.  Mumbling quietly in the mic.  So half the train disembarks the other half are sitting here wondering how to arrange alternative transport from Malvern.
- 18.27 So the "fault" aka "act of god" is on the new section of line?
- 18.30 I’m on the train now on my way to Caulfield; we are currently going at about 5 km/h.  I'm not very happy at the moment.  Why are going going so slowly?
- 18.33 Why do these issues happen during extreme weather?
- 18.34 I would hope so considering buses between Westall and Pakenham/Cranbourne were already planned for Dec 1-23.
- 18.37 Why doesn't Glen Waverley or Sandringham line get affected like Cranbourne line?
- 18.40 Why don’t you start taking penalties and start offering free travel for a month each time this carelessness happens?
- 18.46 F**k you Metro!
- 18.48 I'm totally disappointed with the level of service after travelling on Pakenham line for last 3+ years. It never improved and it never will. Your elevated is total waste of money.
- 18.49 This is unreal. There is no a single week where Mmetro can provide the minimum service. What is the excuse today? Inclement weather? This is not related to the upgrade works, it is AGAIN, lack of maintenance.
- 18.50 This is nonsensical...the track is new, so how can there be a fault? Too close to the sun?
- 18.50 The point is not travel for free, who will get me back the time that I’ve been losing in the system?
- 18.52 What a disgrace & shame. Predictable - too hot, break. Too cold - break. Nothing happens break anyway. But keep increasing $$$ charges annually.
- 18.54 Get ready for a hefty wait..That’s the line doubling over itself all the way down to the Smith Street bridge.
- 18.57 I'm usually on the Pakenham train.  I have been driving to East Malvern this week. There have been zero delays, trains every 10 minutes and plenty of room. We deserve better!
- 19.11 Almost 4 hours and not fixed.  Your engineers work about as well as your trains and tracks.
- 19.11 Would have been nice if the delays getting to Caulfield had been mentioned at some point.
- 19.15 First hot day in Melbourne and there is a track fault on the elevated, which is less than a year old.  Epic fail! Some of us have better things to do than sit on a train all night!
- 19.15 Let's put a donation box so people can contribute in buying a working equipment.
- 19.32  Trains are now resuming; delays are clearing.
- 19.34 What happened? Was there a power surge that damaged signalling equipment or some other malfunction?
- 19.49 Exactly! The government needs to sort our this mess! You are newly reelected, time to take action .
- 20.09 My bus experience at Caulfield was worse than anything than would happen in a developing country in Africa or Asia, and I’ve been to many of them.
- 20.46 Bad newa if you need a replacement bus to Pakenham. Delays of at least 15 minutes while you get rained on and empty buses drive past.
- 21.20 It's more like 20 minutes, and the train has not moved a bit for Clayton.  Just get us home; that's all we ask.
- 21.26 So what’s happening at Huntingdale station that’s causing trains to be stopped completely?
- 21.28 What it’s going on now? We are stopped at Oakleigh for some emergency in the line.
- 21.36 Minor delays Caulfield - Westall while police attend to a trespasser.
- 21.40 I wouldn’t call 20 minutes minor.
- 21.45 What a joke...and this new infrastructure is supposed to let Metro run extra trains to MARS.
- 21.47 Now major.
- 21.51 Perhaps you could have held the train at a station and informed people of the magnitude of the delay so that we could choose alternative transport instead of being trapped between stations.
- 21.58 You cannot run a service between the city and Westall.  This is metro at its best !
- 22.00 And this was the most liveable city in the world.
- 22.04 Metro wants to run extra services every time new tender is put in when they cannot run existing services...2.45 h to get home tonite...thanks.
- 22.10 Please listen to us...this is so stressful...and this keeps happening very often..No proper measures are being taken....and worst part is you people dont even reply to our tweets about what measures are being taken.
- 22.12 So they shut down half the system for supposed month-long works in readiness for new trains. At the end of week one in 38 degree heat there are signalling faults plus a trespasser sending the whole thing into a shit heap. What a crock of shit.
- 22.12 Or please arrange an open community discussion sort of thing where we can discuss the problems being faced and as citizens what we can do in collabration with you Metro.
- 22.14 I’m sure these new trains will do nothing for services as they break down or get stopped because of signalling faults and trespassers.
- 22.15 I wanna cry, but keep up the good work during these circumstances.
- 22.19 Friday arvo and they wanted us to defer travel. And what, stay in town in 38 degree heat.
- 22.20 I paid 40 bucks to get a taxi from Caulfield to home. So much for my free travel for the week. Metro trains are shit. Fix those signalling faults once and for all or your new trains are useless.
- 22.23 The new trains will break down every week in the heat by the looks of things because they have daily signalling faults that take them half a day to fix.
- 22.24 If the issue cleared over 30 min ago, why are we still stuck? Just move the trains through and let us get home.
- 22.25 The train whhich I am on hasn't moved for OVER ONE HOUR! seirously, how long can it take to confirm the trains tracks are clear? This is absolutely ridiculous!
- 22.26 Fantastic, now the train has literally turned off, we are sitting here in the dark, and the emergency button is turned off, there is literally no way off the train I am currently sitting on short of breaking the window.  Please provide an explanation.
- Thank you for the reply we have operators awaiting your call shortly, rest assured you are next in the queue. We will have an operator answer you enquiry shortly.
- It takes less than four minutes to process a fine, yet it takes over an hour to actually turn then train on? at this rate, I'll be lucky if I'm home for the new year.
- 22.40 Why are you making us wait for a bus after a 90 min train ride.  Why so cruel? Think of the safety of your customers.
- 22.41 Did you find the trespasser? We were told that there were 10 trains stuck before us.  Are they in Bermuda Triangle now?
- 23.12 The metro service is the most pathetic services I have come across....with or without level crossing removals...this will never change!
- 23.14 I t is almost like we are discriminated against. We are not just a stack of votes along SE corridor or bags full of money with stamp duty and rates.  We are real humans with real needs like children waiting to be picked up and families waiting to be fed. We deserve better.  [They all voted for Labor].
- 23.59 Amazing...no responses from either party. Read my lips...metro services will never improve at any time...you can bet your life on it!
- 0.06 (Sat.) I’m sooooo disgusted by today’s trip home.
- 10.20: Sucks metro!
15.47 Belgrave/Lilydale lines: All Blackburn local services will be terminating/originating at Box Hill this afternoon (an equipment fault at Blackburn)  .Outbound passengers for Laburnum should travel through to Blackburn and change to citybound services which will be stopping at Laburnum. [because we can't cope and won't stop an express].
Melbourne Express: Friday, December 7, 2018
8.56 Because of hot weather, buses will be replacing route 82 trams between Stop 32 Footscray station and Stop 32 Moonee Ponds Junction from first to last tram.
8.50 There are now major delays on the Mernda line but the Hurstbridge line has returned to a good service.
Melburnian pedestrians and public transport users are fed up with being overcrowded. That's the feedback they've recently given to the City of Melbourne.  Transport portfolio chair Councillor Nicolas Frances Gilley said an unprecedented number of responses to a number of transport discussion papers.
"With 1300 submissions and 1500 social media comments, this is the most responses we’ve ever had when asking the community to give us their feedback on a topic. We heard from a wide range of postcodes throughout Victoria; including regional areas such as Ballarat," he said.  Top suggestions for fixing the issue were widening footpaths, creating car free zones and improving traffic light timing. Good work, everyone.
This video has been posted on Reddit and shows a pack of rats who apparently have made Preston station their home. Have any of you seen them too? Apparently they've been in residence for a while.
7.36 The Hurstbridge line is reporting major delays after an earlier track fault.
Disturbing CCTV footage has been released of a violent, unprovoked attack at the weekend on a man at Richmond station.
5.47 So far things are looking good on the roads and trains.

Man charged after coward punch at Richmond station 7 December 2018
A man has been charged after disturbing CCTV footage emerged of a violent, unprovoked attack at Richmond train station.
A 30-year-old man was talking on his mobile phone on platform six at 8.45pm on Saturday night when an unknown man walked past him.
In the footage captured of the incident, the man can be seen stumbling away from the platform moments before he turns around and punches the victim to the left side of his head without warning.

Hungover and hungry: Dealing with sick passengers on Melbourne trains 7 December 2018. 5 comments.
Thousands of Melbourne train services were disrupted over the past year as paramedics or rail staff were called to help unwell passengers, the vast majority of whom had minor ailments due to a hangover or skipping breakfast.
On average, at least two commuters a day fell ill on Melbourne trains, causing lengthy delays on services across the network.
Until now, unwell passengers have been treated on board the train by ambulance paramedics or rail staff, when usually all the person needs is fresh air and a glass of water.
The vast majority of medical events related to people not eating breakfast, being dehydrated or suffering the effects of a big night, Victoria's chief paramedic Alan Eade said.
Ill passengers will be treated on platforms, not on train carriages now. Credit:Craig Abraham.
Many of the medical incidents occurred on packed peak-hour trains, near busy inner-city stations, including the City Loop, Richmond, Camberwell and Box Hill.
So from Friday, unwell passengers will be treated on platforms rather than in carriages to minimise train delays.
The latest move to ease pressure on the network comes as government figures revealed incidents involving sick train commuters caused delays to almost 5000 services relating to 777 incidents over the past year.

The Andrews government agreed to change the policy on treatment of ill passengers following a review by the chief paramedic and Safer Care Victoria.
Under the new policy, protective services officers, public transport staff, police and the public will be encouraged to help unwell passengers off the train.
The review showed it was safer to treat sick passengers on platforms or at stations where there was better access to water, toilets and medical equipment, including defibrillators.

Health Minister Jenny Mikakos said it was easier for paramedics to reach train platforms than carriages.
“Of course it will always depend on the particular circumstances. There may well be circumstances in which a passenger should be left on the train,” she said.
Ms Mikakos said passengers would not be removed immediately from a train if they had suffered suspected spinal injuries, or if they were too heavy to move.
"We’re really looking to the community to assist their fellow passengers on hot days like today. There might well be people feeling faint because they’re dehydrated," she said on Friday.
Mr Eade said the review showed the vast majority of patients had minor illnesses that were best treated with access to a chair and water.
"By moving people to the platform we found we could access them quicker,” he said.
"We could provide them far better care on the platform than we could on the train and we were able to ensure the wellbeing of everybody else on the network by the fact that the network continued to operate in an efficient way.."
* It's about time these procedures get reviewed. To date the welfare of a single ill passenger who reports feeling unwell has been put above the many thousands who are delayed and may feel unwell but don't report it.
The next area to review should be police incidents. A single trespasser can close a line until the police catch them, again disrupting thousands of commuters. Is this what is done in Europe, or Japan? Surely an in-between position should be encouraged to the incident controllers, such as trains travelling through the area are 20 km/hr except when police require access to the track.
<www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/hungover-and-hungry-dealing-with-sick-passengers-on-melbourne-trains-20181207-p50ku6.html>
* I am not sure if I should feel sorry for people who are not able to understand that drinking water and eating food is a necessity for a human or if I should be annoyed that trains are getting delayed because people are idiots.
* Better access to toilets?
* I do not know why toilets are closed at so many stations - or what people are meant to do, if they need water or relief! This is a pathetic hangover from the Kennett era - when restrooms were mostly closed to save a few bucks - pathetic! The elderly and the young, in particular, need better service!
* Train delays are just another symptom of selfish and irresponsible people who can't control themselves. Everybody around them has to pay some price for their lifestyle choices. This includes actual sicm and injured people needing an Ambulance and an ED bed.

'Unprecedented': Origin chief warns against PM's energy laws 7 December 2018.

Barton and State Circle options to be referred to Environment Minister 7 December 2018.  24 comments.
The ACT government will refer both of its prospective light rail stage two routes to the federal Environment Minister, keeping both options alive while it waits for a report back from the Commonwealth on the pathway to getting the project approved.
The Barr government will decide after next year's federal election whether to pursue its chosen route from Civic to Woden through Barton or go via State Circle to avoid time delays and cost blowouts in getting the project approved.
An artist's impression of the tram in front of Old Parliament House. This route is likely to be dropped in favour of a State Circle alignment, which will be easier to get approved.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr described State Circle as a "compromise" route, as it sat between two options which were put out for public consultation last year, the Barton route - which cuts through the Parliamentary Triangle - and the more direct Capital Circle route.
State Circle was also illuminated as the path of least resistance to getting the green-light for the project, as the alignment is already marked as an inter-town public transport route in the National Capital Plan.
However an ACT government spokeswoman said the government would lodge an Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Referral that kept both the Barton and State Circle alignment options open, while at the same time taking a closer look at the latter route.
"There are challenges and opportunities in any route option, including the right balance between, for example, patronage, cost, travel time, location of stops, heritage, technical feasibility, planning approvals and connection with other transport options, including the city wide light rail network," the spokeswoman said.
"Some of the early issues identified with a State Circle option included the impact on the existing road network, gradients, heritage considerations, and access to employment zones.
"These issues associated with the State Circle option are balanced by the potential to achieve significantly speedier Commonwealth approval processes.
"This is an important project for the residents of the inner south and Woden, and will create a north-south public transport spine for our city. We want to deliver on this project as soon as possible, and if that means that we need to consider a different route to avoid time-consuming Commonwealth approvals, we will do so."
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act requires ministerial approval on any action that is likely to have a significant impact on areas of national environmental significance.
After the referral, the environment minister has 20 days to decide if a formal environmental impact assessment is required.
Initial advice to the ACT government suggests a formal assessment will be needed.
The ACT government will then prepare a draft environmental impact statement - based on guidelines issued by the Environment Department for the project - which will be released for public comment.
A final environmental impact statement will then be assessed by the department, which will provide a recommendation report to the minister.
The minister must then decide whether to approve the project within 40 days of receiving the final environmental impact statement.
The ACT government is planning on filing a single environmental impact statement to address the requirements of both territory and Commonwealth laws.
The territory must then seek a works approval from the National Capital Authority, which requires it to prove the project demonstrates respect for the key elements of the Griffins’ formally adopted plan for Canberra and contributes positively to the overall composition, symbolism and dignity of the national capital.
NCA chief executive Sally Barnes told a federal parliamentary hearing on Thursday the agency was yet to be briefed on the State Circle route.
"We're waiting to hear, ready to help and to provide advice on what would be required to move forward on either route," Ms Barnes said.
Ms Barnes said a heritage impact assessment of both routes was one of the "key underpinnings" required by the NCA.
"We’ve had external advice both to the NCA and ... the board that says the documentation that’s in the public domain or that we’ve received so far is insufficient for us to even consider making a decision on either route at this stage," Ms Barnes said.
However those heritage assessments are unlikely to take place until the federal government makes its formal response to the joint standing committee report on the parliamentary approvals from October.
A spokesman for Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories Sussan Ley said the federal government was still considering the report and was working to release a response "as soon as it is possible to do so".
In the meantime, the ACT government spokeswoman said they were still working on elements of the project, including early planning work and business case activities for works on the Woden Bus Interchange and surrounding road network, park and ride facilities and the Yarra Glen roundabout and intersections.
