Mon.2.6.25 Metro X
7.43  Sunbury line: Major delays (an animal hit by a train).  Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations, or may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 7.54 I believe that it hit a kangaroo. Should this really cause major delays?
- 7.57 clearing.
14.40 Pakenham line - Major delays (a trespasser in the Berwick area).  Trains may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 14.48 clearing.
18.27 Pakenham/Cranbourne/Frankston/Sandringham lines: Major delays (a trespasser in the South Yarra area).  Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at or between stations, or may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 18.40 clearing.
- Not even the first for today.
- Again.
19.31  Major delays (an 'operational incident' in the Werribee area).  Trains may be altered.
- 20.06 clearing.
19.44 Route 67 tram trouble.  Consider using Pakenham/Cranbourne/Frankston/Sandringham trains.
- 19.55 Or the 623 bus which basically duplicates the exact impacted section of tramway.
- 20.30 Trams have resumed.
19.58 Lilydale/Belgrave/Alamein/ Glen Waverley lines: Major delays (police in the Burnley area).  Trains may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
- 20.46 clearing.
