Buses replace trains in June

BUSES will replace trains on the Frankston line until 26 June.

The train line and some surrounding roads will close to allow for level crossing removal works at Warrigal Road, Mentone and Parkers Road, Parkdale. The removals are part of the state government’s plan to make the Frankston line level crossing-free by 2029.

Buses will replace trains between Caulfield and Mordialloc stations from 8.30pm on 14 June until last service on 16 June. Buses will also replace trains across that stretch from 8.30pm to last service each night between 17 June and 20 June
.
Buses will replace trains between Moorabbin and Frankston stations from 11pm on 21 June until last service 23 June, and from 8.15pm until last service every night from 25 June to 26 June.

Bus replacements will also be scheduled on the Stony Point line intermittently between 21 June and 26 June.

The Big Build Victoria website read that while works are underway, crews will “complete track work on the rail bridge, including laying crushed rock and installing overhead structures, install privacy screens on the rail bridge, and continue to build the retaining walls and abutments continue work on the new Parkdale Station.”

Extensive road disruptions are also expected this month across Parkers Road, Warrigal Road, Como Parade West, Como Parade East, and Peter Avenue.
