An act of vandalism to the Belgrave train line close to Upwey meant disruptions to the morning commute after a cable was cut, impacting signalling.
Belgrave line commuters were delayed this morning Thursday 23 January after damages to the train line near Upwey.
Representative from Transport Victoria Chris Miller said the Belgrave train line service was suspended early this morning due to vandalism.
“A cable was cut near Upwey which impacted signalling right across the line,” he said.
Trains resumed around 10am after a Metro trains crew repaired the damage.
“Transport Victoria apologises to the local community for the inconvenience caused,” said Mr Miller.
Replacement services were available but Mr Miller said there were some delays and they understand the frustration from the situation.
