Interesting. Sydney's Bankstown line to be replaced by buses for a year for conversion to driverless metro. #Sydney #PublicTransport #bustitution https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/train-commuters-face-12-month-closure-of-bankstown-rail-line-20230731-p5dsmo.html

Good grief. Thanks to the Sandringham line being used to connect to Frankston line bus replacements, thereās a 10 minute service most of the day, but they still didnāt fix the Sunday morning 40 minute gaps before 9:30am. #MetroTrains #bustitution #Melbourne #PublicTransport

This shelter materialised today. Iād call that progress!
Itās not hard to argue that every rail replacement bus stop should have at least some shelter. #bustitution #Melbourne #PublicTransport #MetroTrains

- spreadsheet to help another budget fares for kids with differing travel patterns. #Myki Money vs Pass vs Student Pass.

I'm not going to say it was completely adequate, but at least they used to give us some shelter at suburban rail replacement bus stops. #MetroTrains #bustitution #BigBuildBurnout #Melbourne #PublicTransport

Morning all!š§
It's on... more train lines at least part replaced by buses than not. (For a couple, they're just bypassing the Loop)
There's no good map to be found, but there is a summary on Metro's works calendar: https://www.metrotrains.com.au/planned-works/

An official map like this (but properly done, not me dodgily painting in grey bits) would be very useful.
Also: Good luck getting around in the SE this weekend. #MetroTrains #bustitution #PublicTransport

Incredibly, the inexcusable 40 minute gaps between Sandringham line trains on Sunday mornings before 10am has not been fixed, not even for the #AusOpen and Frankston line #bustitution. Instead, theyāve only added services after about 10am. #MetroTrains #Melbourne #PublicTransport #MoreServicesPlease
