Major Infrastructure Upgrade to Cranbourne and Pakenham Lines
I am writing to provide you with an update on upcoming works on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines.
From Saturday 1 December to Sunday 23 December, major power and signaling upgrades will take place on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines. Buses will replace trains on sections of the lines during this time.
All dates and times are subject to change and other planned or unplanned disruptions may occur during this period.
Altered timetables may be in effect during the works. For journey planning, service information and up-to-date timetable information, visit ptv.vic.gov.au or call 1800 800 007.
Free travel during December
In recognition of over 100 days of disrupted travel this year, passengers catching bus replacement services on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Gippsland lines will receive free travel from Saturday 1 December to Sunday 23 December 2018. Details of free travel terms and conditions are available at ptv.vic.gov.au
