Flinders St: still with a lane closed for tunnel works?
Because of tunnel works, Degraves St subway at Flinders St is closed until 2024. No platform transfer via Degraves St subway. Passengers should use Elizabeth & Swanston St entry/exits. Campbell Arcade remains closed to 2024. Platform interchange via that subway was available until mid 2022.
10.36 Werribee/Williamstown/Sunbury/Craigieburn/Upfield lines: Major delays for some trains through North Melbourne (an 'operational incident').
- 11.07 clearing.
13.53 Dandenong: No lift access between the concourse and pfm 1&2 (an outage). Inbound passengers for Dandenong alight at Noble Park and change to an outbound train. Inbound passengers at Dandenong speak to station staff for assistance.
- 13.40 clearing.
We’ve released early concept designs for our elevated rail project at Mordialloc to remove three level crossings and open a new station by 2026.
17.55 Belgrave line: Major delays (an equipment fault in the Bayswater area). Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations. Trains may terminate/originate at Ringwood or Upper Ferntree Gully.
- 18.20 Belgrave line: Delays clearing. Stopping conditions may be changed.
