Wed.11.9.24 Metro X
Sandringham line: Buses replace trains from 20.30 until the last train tonight (maintenance and renewal works). https://tinyurl.com/5hxkjxma
Buses replace trains North Melbourne - Upfield from 20.35 until the last train tonight (maintenance and renewal works).
20.39 Pakenham/Cranbourne lines: Major delays (a train fault in the Malvern area). Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations; stopping patterns may be changed; trains may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- Honestly why do we even pay so much money for public transport when this line always has issues? Like do we get a rebate for the time you have wasted? Or do we get repaid for the trip?
- I don’t even catch trains that much these days but am I just unlucky or is it this bad all the time.
- The audio system is the worst ever - while they announce our ears go blast so annoying
- Can you also please fix your audio system? None of the passengers can hear what the train drivers are saying.
- Why can’t you simply get this line operating well? Every week there’s delays. Money grabbing thieves! Worst public transport system and we have to pay for it!
Werribee/Williamstown/Sunbury/Craigieburn lines: Trains operate as shuttle between Southern Cross and the suburbs from 21.00 until that last train (works). From Flinders St, take a train from pfm 9 to SC. [that would be a Werribee, which isn't running].
Lilydale/Belgrave/Alamein/Glen Waverley/Pakenham/Cranbourne lines: All trains direct to/from Flinders St from 21.00 until the last train (maintenance and renewal works). From loop stations, take a train from pfm 1 to Flinders St.
Trains will operate as a shuttle service between Caulfield and Frankston from 21.00 until the last train (works). From the city, take a Pakenham/Cranbourne train to Caulfield.
- passengers for Hawksburn, Toorak, Armadale or Malvern, change at South Yarra or Caulfield for replacement bus service.
