I ran for the train at Spencer Street, as there are delays and weirdly I'd catch it earlier than usual due to timings... Only for it to go to Flinders and then back to Spencer and then onwards.

Anyone know why trains aren't doing the loop? I mean I don't mind because the loop adds time to my trip anyway, just curious if there "police activity" in the loop or something lol

A downvote?? I didn't think my question was contentious lol

Not contentious, but easily answerable by looking at the metro trains Twitter.

I never look at twitter, I just don't do social media stuff

I mean fair, but I did search on metros website and on PTV before I asked. I don't think to check twitter as I have never used it. Apologies for my ineffectual search efforts and stupid question.

Nothing to apologise for. Was just using downvotes the way they are generally intended, then explained myself in response to your concern.

Haha fair! I mean they are there for a reason!

Someone was hit at Parliament. Someone was also hit earlier on the Pakenham line.

They really need to install suicide barriers in metro stations at the very least.

I used to have to travel to Footscray for uni all my connecting trains ran straight from flinders to spencer and vice versa.

On public holidays I was always forced to use a train to take the loop and also weekends as well.

I think also what happens is that some trains that go north bound will be forced into the loop.

That’s all I know from my experience.
