PSA: Mernda & Hurstbridge lines part suspended due to fatality incident at Jolimont Station. Buses replacing trains to Clifton Hill, then delayed services on both lines. Best find another way to get home tonight. Was on the station at the time and saw the incident. Not nice at all.
Hopefully will be fixed by the end of the football match at MCG, but don't bet on it.

That’s awful, poor person. And poor you - are you ok?

No problem. Not my first rodeo. Will be doing self-care all the same. Thanks anyway, as I have to admit it was a bit of a shock to witness. But the cops were great - and they referred me to a trauma survival service which surprised me more than I thought it would, so to speak.

I wondered. That would normally be my way home

Strong recommend for choosing an alternative method of transport if possible.
