A Metro Trains spokesman said issues with upgrading signalling systems were to blame.
"The major schedule of very complex replacement and upgrade signalling works carried out over the four day extended weekend has presented a number of challenges as we integrate new signalling with the existing aged system," he said.
"The scale and nature of these works should not be underestimated. Around one thousand people have been working tirelessly over the weekend but we now acknowledge works are likely to carry over into the morning.
"We apologise in advance to our customers and ask that they allow extra time for their journey."
