Did the train go over the buckled section of the track and if so did it derail?

It continued. Was on a speed restriction until buckle was repaired.

On the Hurstbridge Line as of 2018, the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna was removed by building an elevated rail bridge with a new elevated Rosanna Station, which also included track duplication between Rosanna and Heidelberg and the level crossing removal at Grange Road, Alphington by lowering the rail line beneath the road into a rail trench. And as of 2023, the Hurstbridge Line Duplication was completed which included around 3 kms of duplicated tracks between Greensborough and Eltham and around 1.5 kms between Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen. Around 4.5 kms of track duplication in total between Greensborough and Hurstbridge. Diamond Creek Station got upgraded and Montmorency and Greensborough Stations got completely rebuilt. Now they are planning to remove the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod by 2027 by building a rail bridge over the road. Also the rail tunnel under Greensborough Highway in Watsonia will be extended a few hundred metres longer by 2028 and there will be a multi-deck car park built at Watsonia Station also by 2028 as part of the North East Link.

What a miserable station Uckfield is now, with an equally miserable sounding horn. We Brits really know how to sabotage our own railways and trash out Victorian rail legacy! Cutting off Lewes from Uckfield is probably up there among the craziest decisions we made regarding our railways. There is no logic to the decision at all. I want to know which halfwit thought it would make sense and gave the go-ahead? A Tory no doubt?

Mind you, other than the class 73s, there weren't (m)any electro-diesel/multi-mode options until quite recently! Maybe soon there will be one introduced that's capable of third rail/self powered operation which can replace the 171s (and not get shaved on tunnel walls, thank you modified 319s...)
