Vandalism strikes again, disrupting train services and causing headaches for commuters! V/Line has announced that due to acts of vandalism, train services between Lara and Wyndham Vale are temporarily suspended, with coaches now taking their place. This unexpected change is sure to impact many travelers, so let's dive into the details.
This morning's announcement confirmed the shift to coach replacements between the two stations because of the vandalism. But here's where it gets complicated: passengers should brace themselves for significant delays.
Adding to the travel woes, trains won't be running between Wyndham Vale and Southern Cross until Friday, January 23rd, due to previously scheduled maintenance.
Coaches will be running to connect with trains on the Werribee Line, serving all stations between Lara, Wyndham Vale, Tarneit, Deer Park, and Sunshine.
Good news for some: Warrnambool Line trains will continue their regular service between Warrnambool and Waurn Ponds.
V/Line is urging all passengers to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.
