Dozens of commuters will be late to work this morning after train services were cancelled between Rockingham and Cockburn Central due to a technical issue.

Replacement buses were organised between the two stations with Transperth advising passengers to allow extra travelling time.

Commuters have taken to social media to express their frustration with videos showing long lines of people waiting to board replacement buses.

Transperth has since confirmed services have resumed on the Mandurah Train Line and passengers may experience minor delays as trains return to the normal timetable.

Trains on the Mandurah Line are cancelled between Cockburn and Rockingham due to a technical issue. Train replacement buses are being organised. Please allow extra travelling time and be aware that replacement buses may not connect with timetabled bus and train services.
