UPDATE: Trams are now resuming after earlier industrial action today. There may be delays and cancellations up to 3pm as the normal timetables resumes. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Due to protected industrial action, metropolitan tram services did not operate between 10am and 2pm on Friday 30 August 2019.

During this time, passengers are advised to plan ahead and consider seeking alternative modes of transport before traveling. Services are expected to be significantly disrupted from 9am up to 3pm

A replacement bus service will run; however, this will be very limited and will not service all the tram network. Significant delays are expected for passengers using this service. You can download the tram replacement bus map to find out where these services will run.

Metropolitan trains, buses and V/Line are not affected during this time and will operate as normal; however, we do expect these services to be busier than usual.
