| Subject: Whatever the statists touch, turns to shit: How OZschwitz trains came to a grinding halt Sun Aug 19, 2018 7:17 pm | |
| The IT failures that crippled Sydney’s rail network on Saturday, leaving tens of thousands of frustrated Sydneysiders struggling to get to major events, were triggered by an unprecedented collapse in the rail network’s computer systems, Transport for NSW said on Sunday.
Train passengers have had to endure a frustrating day as almost the entire network was crippled by a technical issue.
The failures have prompted apologies from Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Transport Minister Andrew Constance, who nevertheless maintain a policy of not providing refunds for affected travellers.
And while transport authorities are confident the failures – which were separate to a Friday incident in which a metallic balloon triggered overhead wiring faults at Wynyard – should not be repeated during the coming week, they remain uncertain about their cause.
