Queues for replacement buses along Princes Bridge after trains were suspended on the Sandringham line.The death of the woman, which will be examined by the coroner, occurred at a pedestrian crossing between Hampton and Brighton on Monday afternoon."The yet to be identified woman died at the scene. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be determined at this stage."The Sandringham line has been suspended due to the death of a woman who was hit by a tram.
Delays of up to an hour are expected for passengers on the line, and queues for the buses stretch along Princes Bridge to Flinders Street.
