Significant disruption to train services on the Metlink
rail network can be expected for the next few hours as

Bus replacements are in place
where possible but Metlink urge the public to make
alternative travel arrangements where possible to avoid
lengthy delays.
Passengers should regularly check the
Metlink website for information on current services. Any
changes will be posted as soon as
possible.
