More bother with bus replacements

Riders who take their bikes on Melbourne’s trains have more disruptions ahead as various transport improvement projects temporarily close lines in the coming weeks.

Buses are replacing trains on a number of lines, and replacement buses do not carry bikes (bagged Brompton excepted).
