Buses replace trains city - Sandringham until the last train of Sun 24 Sep (works).
May I suggest you relocate the replacement bus stop of the new Union Station to be near the actual Union Station? It doesn't make sense to use the replacement bus stop of the old Mont Albert Station.
- While works continue to finish the surrounds to Union station, the replacement bus stop remains where the previous Mont Albert station replacement stop was located. The stop will be moved closer to the eastern exit to Union station once all works are completed to the station surrounds.
18.44 Frankston line: Major delays due to a train fault in the Aspendale area. Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at platforms and between stations. Select trains may terminate/originate at Mordialloc.
- 19.04 Frankston line: Buses replace trains Mordialloc - Frankston due to a train fault in the Aspendale area. Buses ordered, ETA 60min. Trains operate Flinders St - Mordialloc. Consider alternative transport.
- 20.07 Buses replace trains Mordialloc - Frankston due to a train fault in the Aspendale area. Buses operating. Allow an extra 45min. Trains operate Flinders St - Mordialloc.
- 20.47 Trains resume Mordialloc - Frankston with major delays after an earlier train fault. First trains: 19:17 Flinders St - Frankston. 20:39 Frankston - Flinders St.
Mernda/Hurstbridge lines: Buses replace trains Parliament - Clifton Hill from 23.00 until the last train of Sun 24 Sep (maintenance works).
Lilydale/Belgrave/Alamein/Glen Waverley lines: All trains direct to/from Flinders St from 23.00 until the last train (maintenance works). From loop stations, take a Flinders St train from pfm 2 [and lose 30 min].
