Train services are on hold in Melbourne due to a “serious incident” at Middle Footscray, 5km west of the CBD, on Thursday morning.

Bus services were ordered just before 5am to replace trains on the Sunbury Line between Nth Melbourne to Sunshine while emergency services attended the scene at the station on the line, Metro Trains said in an alert.

Melbourne commuters have been urged to “allow extra travel time and consider alternative transport,” Metro Trains said. Regional passengers were warned they will need to allow an extra 90 minutes for their travel. Coaches will replace trains on the Bendigo Line between Sunbury and Southern Cross, and on the Ballarat Line between Caroline Springs and Southern Cross.
