Australia: Lingering train disruptions occurring in Melbourne after an accident March 29

Event

Train delays continue to pose traffic disruptions in Melbourne on March 29, after a person was hit by a train near Clifton Hill station. Though authorities have cleared the incident, train services between Parliament, Reservoir, and Heidelberg remain disrupted.

Delays continue to impact service on the Mernda and Hurstbridge lines. Train services are gradually resuming, but officials are providing alternative bus services. Increased demand for alternative transport - especially bus - is likely. Traffic congestion is also possible.

Advice

Confirm the status of Mernda and Hurstbridge lines before embarking on travel. Consider using alternative transport for time-sensitive trips. Allow additional time to reach destinations.
