Mon.26.8.24 Metro X
Buses replace trains Carrum - Frankston - Stony Point until the last train of Wed 28 Aug (works). https://tinyurl.com/mry66myz
8.45 Sunbury/Craigieburn/Upfield lines: Minor delays (a train fault in the Parliament area). Trains may run direct to Flinders St.
- 9.48 Any further updates?
17.18 There is no lift access to Laverton pfm 2/3. Passengers requiring lift access travel on an outbound service to Aircraft and board a citybound service to Laverton.
- 18.30 Lift access has been restored.
17.39 Craigieburn line: Major delays (police in the Roxburgh Park area). Trains may terminate/originate at Broadmeadows, or may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations.
- 17.41 clearing. Stopping patterns may be changed.
- 17.52 I have been sitting on a stationery train for 30 minutes and there is no clearing yet!
- 18.03 There is congestion along the line as a result of the earlier stoppage. Trains are moving, but at a reduced speed. This has also resulted in some trains being held to ensure safe separation.
Buses replace trains North Melbourne - Sunbury from 20.55 until the to last train (maintenance and renewal works). https://tinyurl.com/yc6cp8pw
