Melbourne's Commuter Crisis: A Train Wreck in the Making? Melbourne's evening peak has become a nightmare for commuters, with three major train lines halted due to power failures and track faults.
Thousands are stranded in the wet weather, with Metro Trains warning that it will take at least an extra hour to get home tonight.
The latest disruptions follow a similar incident last July, when a train partially derailed at Clifton Hill station due to a tangled pantograph. The affected lines took a week to fully resume services.
