Passengers on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Gippsland lines are urged to allow extra time for their commute this morning, as crews work to repair a track fault near Huntingdale.

Buses are replacing trains on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines between Westall and Oakleigh. Trains will continue to operate between Oakleigh and Flinders Street, with delays to the service.

V/Line trains will operate between Bairnsdale, Traralgon and Pakenham only. Passengers should change to a Metro Trains service between Pakenham and Southern Cross.

We ask passengers to check station platform displays, listen for announcements, and allow extra time for their journey.
