A train has derailed between Southern Cross and North Melbourne stations.

The long-distance Country Link service departed Southern Cross Station at 8.30am on Friday bound for Sydney, and was about 3 kilometres out of the station when two carriages derailed, a NSW TrainLink spokeswoman said.

“No customers were injured and both carriages are upright,” the spokeswoman said.



The train had about 180 passengers, who were transferred to buses for the remainder of the journey to Sydney.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating what caused the derailment.

V/Line services to Albury have been suspended and replaced with busses until further notice.

No other train services are affected.
