Flood damage causes 24-hour Ghan delay

Updated - 9/3/2010 - abc news.

Passengers travelling on the Ghan train from Adelaide will have to spend an extra night in Alice Springs because the railway line is still under repair.

A section of the track 250 kilometres north of Alice Springs was damaged by flooding about a week ago for the second time this year.

A Great Southern Rail spokeswoman said most passengers are likely to spend Monday night on the train.

The train is expected to continue to Darwin when the line reopens on Tuesday afternoon.
