Commuter chaos in CBD after trains break down near Camberwell Barbara Hardingham is helped from the train. COMMUTER chaos struck Melbourne last night after two trains lost power near Camberwell, causing more than an hour of delays. Hundreds of commuters attempted to crowd on to trams and buses after several railway lines were closed after the breakdown of two trains between Camberwell and Glenferrie Stations about 5pm. A faulty pantograph blocked power supply to the trains and caused delays for the Belgrave, Lilydale and Alamein lines. Passengers aboard the faulty trains reported waiting an hour for Metro staff to free them. Metro spokesman Larisa Tait said delays could push out to 25 minutes depending on how long it took to get passengers off the faulty train; but the delays ended up being closer to an hour. Buses replaced services on the Alamein line after services were suspended for the evening. A fault in the Metro website service interruption data added to the confusion when news of the delays was deleted and good service was reported. Passengers took to social media to vent their frustration, annoyed by the fault in the website information service.
