Bus replacements scheduled again Picture: LXRP FRANKSTON train line commuters are facing two months of bus replacements. More level crossing removals have been scheduled on the Frankston train line. Five level crossings across Edithvale, Chelsea and Bonbeach are expected to be removed by the end of this year. Edithvale, Chelsea, and Bonbeach stations will close for demolition and reconstruction in the middle of the year. Trains will run express through them while works are ongoing. From around September, the line will shut down between Mordialloc and Frankston. Bus replacements will be scheduled for commuters for two months. When the line shuts down, work will be undertaken to create rail trenches, build roads, lay new tracks, and extend Thames Promenade to the Nepean Highway. The state government says that work should be finished by the end of 2021, with the three new stations to open in stages throughout the year.
