A Fire at Flinders Street Station Is Causing Major Delays Across the Train Network
Ten train lines are affected — so leave extra travel time this morning.
If you're not already at work or uni, expect major delays heading into the city this morning. An electric fire at Flinders Street Station has caused major delays across the network, with ten lines affected.
Those travelling on the Frankston, Werribee, Williamstown or Sandringham lines have been told to consider alternative forms of transport, while those travelling on most other lines should allow for extra travel time. You can check out the status of all lines below — accurate at time of publication, 9.25am. To check the updated status of your line, head to the Metro Trains website.
Metro Trains is suggesting those travelling to and from South Yarra, Prahran, Windsor, Balaclava, Ripponlea and Elsternwick use the following alternative public transport options, instead — but to still expect delays, as the services will be experiencing higher-than normal demand.
The Metropolitan Fire Brigade is currently on the scene attending to the fire.
Head to the Metro Trains website for live public transport updates, or, if you're at the station, keep an eye on the platform displays.
