Buses continue to replace trains on the Werribee line between Laverton and Werribee stations.
Train services will continue to operate between Flinders Street and Laverton.
The Department of Transport has issued a statement advising passengers to check station platform displays and listen for announcements, and to allow extra time for their journey.

“Services will resume when it’s safe to do so.”
The VicRoads signals team is monitoring conditions and will adjust traffic lights as needed to minimise congestion and assist with bus movements in the area.
