TRAIN lines were suspended at Cranbourne for 20 minutes when a fault occurred on the tracks at 1pm today (Thursday).
Buses were called to transport commuters between Dandenong and Cranbourne.
A spokeswoman from Metro Trains said the set of points which change direction of the track were fixed at 1.20pm and lines were suspended for 20 minutes.
“It is something that we do see happen on the network – buses were called immediately but didn’t get there within 20 minutes, it can take them 20 to 30 minutes to get there,” she said.
Both directions are currently running smoothly.
