Sydney trains brought to a halt over ‘communication issue’
Commuters were warned to avoid the train network altogether for the remainder of the Wednesday afternoon peak period after the system shut down completely for more than an hour between 3pm and 4pm.
Sydney Trains chief executive Matt Longland said all services ground to a halt after a five-year-old digital radio service connecting drivers with the state’s operations centre malfunctioned. “This was coming into the [afternoon] peak period, so as you’d expect significant impact and delays for customers that would normally be making their trip home,” he said.Longland said while some services were being introduced to the network after 4pm, the network would continue to have severe delays for the rest of the day.
