Train cancellations hit Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong lines

Trains on the Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong lines have all been suspended until further notice.

The Department of Transport and Planning said replacement buses would run on the Sunbury and Bendigo lines between Watergardens and Sunbury after an incident involving a train at Diggers Rest.

The Department said coaches would replace trains on the Ballarat and Geelong lines between Southern Cross, Caroline Springs and Wyndham Vale, due to a separate incident at Deer Park.

Victoria Police could not provide any further details about the incidents, which are under investigation.

The Department said Warrnambool Line trains would originate and terminate at Geelong until further notice.

Passengers were advised to check station platform displays, listen for announcements, and to allow extra travel time for their journey.

The state signals team is monitoring conditions in the area of the incidents and will adjust traffic lights to assist with bus movements.
