EMERGENCY services this afternoon rescued a woman trapped under a train on platform 1 at Flinders St Station.

Witnesses at the scene told the Herald Sun that a woman had been standing with a child on the platform before the incident.

The woman was freed from under the Metro train, alive, and was transferred to an ambulance trolley.

Emergency crews have worked quickly to clear the scene.

Metro said the South Morang, Hurstbridge, Belgrave, Alamein, Glen Waverley lines will be departing from platform 3 and 4 this afternoon.

Most lines are now running as usual but an unrelated incident on the Lilydale line is causing delays.

“Delays up to 25 minutes for services through Camberwell due to a track equipment fault. Please listen for announcements as some services may be altered at short notice,” Metro said on its website.

Commuters should check the Metro website for the latest information on their lines.
