昨天的事故。。。surry hills 小车撞火车。。两个女的都死了
Train services on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines are still being affected by Wednesday afternoon's horror crash in which two women lost their lives.
A 71-year-old and 73-year-old, both from Camberwell in Melbourne's east, were killed when their car was crushed beyond recognition by an express train at Surrey Hills station at about 4pm.

The car was dragged underneath the train for about 100 metres.

Trains on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines were stopped on Wednesday night, with buses replacing trains.

Metro is warning that some trains will not be at their regular scheduled times and there will be some cancellations throughout Thursday.
The mangled wreck of the car was wedged between the train and the platform for nearly three hours.
Shocked onlookers watched the recovery operation unfold on Wednesday night, with numerous nearby residents describing the Union Road level crossing as a notorious cause of traffic snarls and frustration.
But the level crossing is not among the 50 slated to be removed under the Andrews government's $1.6 billion election promise.
A witness told Channel Seven he watched in horror as the car was struck by the train.
"The car was lifted in the air by the train and carried forward. It was full on," a visibly shaken Ben Jackson said.
"I looked up at the boomgates and I noticed there was a car slowly going through the crossing when the boomgates were down."
Rail, Tram and Bus Union secretary Luba Grigorovitch said the removal of the Union Road level crossing "must be made a priority".
She also said train drivers had been urging Metro for years to introduce speed restrictions at the Union Road level crossing, but that their concerns had been ignored.
Police are examining CCTV footage to determine exactly how the accident occurred.

前天信号问题，七点半。
事后想想真是失策，应该坐Glen那条线然后换公交车。当时想既然Camberwell有接送的bus就坐吧，到了站一看人山人海就傻眼了。
