V/Line's CEO says a four-hour delay for 100 passengers aboard a train to Melbourne is 'embarrassing', with a damaged boom gate at Geelong affecting 55 services.
A four-hour delay for about a 100 passengers on a Warrnambool to Melbourne train service on Wednesday was "embarrassing" and "not good enough", V/Line's chief executive officer has said.
The train came to a stop at North Shore in Geelong due to a damaged boom gate at the Station Street level crossing. "When we were still stuck there an hour later it should have been clear to V/Line bosses that the problem was more serious than first thought."
