Flooding shuts Melbourne train station ONE of Melbourne's busiest train stations has been closed due to flooding. A water leak has flooded Melbourne Central station, leaving hundreds of people seeking alternative transport during Thursday's morning peak. "Services are currently not stopping at Melbourne Central due to a burst water main causing platform flooding," Metro Trains said in a statement. City loop train services are still running, with passengers being told to use Flinders Street, Flagstaff or Parliament stations. The tram network could experience delays until the station is opened, Yarra Trams says. It's not known when the train station will be opened.
