The Monday morning commute saw residents catching the train from Belgrave delayed after a tree branch halted trains between Belgrave and Upper Ferntree Gully.
Trains were disrupted on the Belgrave line on Monday 15 July from the early morning.
Social media posts displayed an image of a tree branch across the track and leaning onto a train itself.
Public Transport of Victoria said in an update on its website that passengers were advised that ‘due to an equipment fault at Upwey’, buses were replacing Belgrave train services between Belgrave and Upper Ferntree Gully.
The fault was cleared, with trains resuming at 1pm on Monday.
