Mon.30.9.24 Metro X
11.21 Pakenham/Cranbourne/Frankston lines: Delays through Malvern (police). Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations; or may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- Clearing. Stopping patterns may be changed.
14.45 Werribee/Williamstown/Sunbury lines: Major delays (police in the Footscray area). Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations, or may be altered or terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 14.47 it only took 40 minutes to post that?
- 15.15 Every day there are delays on the Sunbury line….EVERY….DAY!
- 15.23 You wouldn't know this standing at Flinders St; the scheduled trains just disappear from the screens a few minutes before they are due. Absolutely poor communication.
- 15.26 What's going on?
- 15.38 Clearing. Replacement buses may supplement trains.
- 15.40 Can the police request some bus replacement also?
- me when I lie.
- 16.45 The police apparently can shut down every line for as long as it takes for them to do their job.
- 17.46 Now a defective train causing more chaos. There is no one lower on the Metro food chain than customers. Every damn day. I'll still be charged full fare though.
Buses replace trains North Melbourne - Upfield from 21.40 until the last train (maintenance and renewal works). https://tinyurl.com/555amy92
Buses replace trains North Melbourne - Sunbury from 21.45 until the last train (maintenance and renewal works). https://tinyurl.com/2mh3m4dk
Sunbury/Craigieburn/Upfield lines: All trains direct to/from Flinders St from 22.00 until the last train (maintenance works). From loop stations, take a Flinders St train from pfm 2 [special city circle? how often?].
22.11 Frankston line: Major delays (a trespasser in the Moorabbin area). Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at platforms, or may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 22.54 clearing.
- 23.28 now minor, and still clearing.
