It comes as the Rail, Tram and Bus Union said they would hold rolling strikes through August to voice their demands to the government over safety concerns on the New Intercity Fleet.More train chaos is headed for SydneysidersThere are nine different strikes planned throughout August, some of which will impact the regularity of train services and others won't.
"Although all staff will return to work at 4pm, customers will need to allow plenty of extra time while trains return to the network."On August 13, station staff will leave all gates open at all times. On August 23, train services in area three including the T1 Blue Mountains line and Newcastle line will be impacted.On August 25, train services in area four including inner city services at Central, St James, Town Hall, Wynyard, Circular Quay, Redfern and Museum will be impacted.On August 31, there will be a ban on operating foreign made trains which makes up 70 per cent of the fleet.
The union wants the government to fix safety issues around surveillance black spots on the New Intercity Fleet."The NSW Government is essentially holding the people of NSW to ransom in order to make a political point which is as bizarre as it is bitterly disappointing," he said.
