In reply to  Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan—Leader of the Opposition) (29 October 2019)

Ms HORNE (Williamstown—Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Public Transport):

On Tuesday 29 October 2019, there was an incident on the 6.58am Swan Hill to Southern Cross train requiring passengers to be removed from the service at North Melbourne. All 120 passengers onboard were evacuated from the area and assisted with alternative travel arrangements.

This incident has been reported to ONRSR to investigate.

There were some residual delays as a result of the incident, including some cancellations and changes to services.
