Mon.2.9.24 Metro X
4.52 Any update on the tree across the line at Dandenong area?
- 6.25 check http://metrotrains.com.au for latest updates.
- 7.18 There is no staff at Springvale. Are you able to send staff to direct commuters to the railway bus replacements?
- 7.25 Trains resumed serving Springvale at 6.25, after damage caused by extreme weather was cleared; however there is no power to station facilities.
- 9.21 Can I use the trains at Springvale station without tapping on since the gates aren't functioning?
- 9.23 Ticketing equipment at Springvale is offline owing to an ongoing external power outage. Our stations and Authorised Officers team are aware of this, and you can continue to travel as normal.
5.41 Is the Frankston line running again?
- 6.04 Any chance someone can get behind a microphone at Flinders St to let everyone know what’s going on with all the cancelled Frankston trains? No staff on deck to help and zero announcements. Can’t be that hard, surely.
- 6.24 Owing to extreme weather conditions causing trees to fall across train tracks and damaging overhead wires, services are being impacted.
- 7.06 Major delays (extreme weather causing damage in the Mordialloc and Toorak areas). Trains will operate as a Caulfield - Frankston shuttle. Change at Caulfield to/from a Pakenham/Cranbourne train.

- 6.47 Strong winds continue to impact the train network with some power outages and debris on the tracks causing delays. Check before you travel for the latest information, and stay safe.
- 7.42 It’s amazing when the wind decides to screw with everyone’s day. ‘Let’s hit this power line boys’
6.33 Can you please put up an official notice about Craigieburn service not moving?
- 6.39 We have an issue at Essendon with the Park Street level crossing, some trains are holding at select stations, sorry for delays.
