Commuters across Perth are facing significant travel disruption this Monday afternoon after authorities were forced to shut down several major train lines due to an unspecified incident.
Lines Affected and Service Cancellations
The disruption has led to the complete cancellation of train services on the Airport, Ellenbrook, and Midland lines. Specific cancellations are in effect on the routes between Perth and Redcliffe, Perth to Morley, and Perth to Bassendean.
Transperth confirmed the widespread closures in a disruption update issued on Monday, warning passengers of the extensive impact on their journeys.
Flow-On Effects and Passenger Advice
The incident is not only affecting the directly closed lines but is also causing delays on the Fremantle Line, creating a ripple effect across the network.
In response to the crisis, train replacement buses are being organised to help stranded passengers. However, Transperth has advised travellers to allow extra travelling time and to be aware that the replacement bus services may not seamlessly connect with timetabled bus and train services.
The public transport authority is urging all commuters to check for further updates before commencing their travel as the situation develops.
