Sydney commuters are facing another day of major disruptions after peace talks between the railway union and the state government stalled.Transport for NSW warned commuters to avoid non-essential travelThere are major delays across the railway network with trains running to a weekend timetable and commuters forced to cram into fewer carriages during the morning peak.
"I don't think anybody is particularly on the side of the train drivers this time around, unfortunately," he said. "You could barely fit in and everyone just crammed in with each other and there's so many people coughing at the moment too," one man said.Members of the Rail, Bus and Tram union [RTBU] escalated their industrial action again today, citing ongoing safety concerns with the state's New Intercity Fleet trains.
Name and shame all those people in that photo without a mask !!
Sounds like the good old days..back to normal
nawwe was you late for work, My heart is breaking big time for you all, don't worry though soon there wont be any food to buy anyways
“Nightmare” what is a “nightmare” is a train pulling away from a station and a person trapped BUT there’s no working cameras or even a guard on the train.
'goodwill begets goodwill'. Yes, and over a decade of government negotiating in bad faith has taught the RTBU that either you get your agreement in writing, or it isn't worth paper it's not printed on.
Did NSW Transport Minister, David Elliott was told this industrial action will continue before going to bed on Thursday night?
These strikes don't affect the government it just f**ks the public around. The union needs to make all travel free, now that affects the government. 👍
Lol, most railways are driver only operated.....dinosaurs.
Just make sure the guy stand right behind me doesn't get an erection in the train!!!! Enough immigrants thanks!! 🤣🤣🤣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
Sound like vline during the holidays. Too few carriages per service makes for a sardine-can service. Hopeless.
