Sydney Facing Another Day of Train Chaos

On Tuesday afternoon near Strathfield station in Sydney, a train became entangled with a live 1,500-volt overhead wire, trapping passengers for hours.
The incident occurred shortly before 2:30 pm during peak hour and was not caused by weather or maintenance, according to Transport for NSW officials.
Hundreds of commuters were evacuated, multiple affected trains were removed, and repair crews worked overnight to restore power between Lidcombe and Ashfield.
As of early Wednesday, trains ran on all lines with reduced frequency, with only 15% of T1 lines and 5% of Airport lines on time, while replacement buses operated between key stations.
Sydney Trains and Transport for NSW advised commuters to consider postponing their journeys or opting for different modes of transport, as disruptions and delays are expected to continue throughout Wednesday morning.
