- the mechanical linkage between the train and overhead power lines), and vandalism.
Throughout 2011, Metro's performance has continued to improve. In November 2011, Metro announced that they had exceeded performance benchmarks for the fifth consecutive month - the first time this had been achieved since December 2008.

27 July 2010 problems
On 27 July 2010, Metro Trains Melbourne experienced widespread cancellations and delays on most lines across Melbourne, impacting over 400,000 passengers. The disruptions were caused by an electrical fault between Southern Cross and Flinders Street stations. Because most trains run through these stations, the number of trains able to be moved through was severely limited. Problems with the real-time information systems at stations across Melbourne caused further difficulties for commuters. Most services resumed to normal at approximately 12:10pm. To compensate commuters for the major network disruptions, 30 July 2010 was made a free transport day on all metropolitan trams, trains and buses. This was expected to cost upwards of $1 million, a cost which was shared between the state government and Metro.Transport Integration Act
