Metro Tunnel Delays: Firefighters' Drill Sparks Investigation
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
Melbournes new Metro Tunnel faced delays on its opening day due to a fire brigade request near Anzac Station, causing up to 25-minute delays. The incident, involving trespassers near Hawksburn Station, was quickly resolved, but raised questions about safety and training for firefighters in the tunnel. The Victorian Premier condemned the behavior, while the United Firefighters Union claimed it was an urgent drill. The nine-kilometer twin tunnels, the biggest upgrade in 40 years, will operate with a turn-up-and-go timetable starting February 1st.
