More commuter chaos as technical incident on Metro
Don't miss out on the headlines from NSW. Followed categories will be added to My News. Metro services have stopped running between Sydenham and Barangaroo after a train had a mechanical incident after 4pm, just before the Tuesday afternoon peak. Sydney commuters hoping to catch the Metro home from work have been the latest victims of disruptions and delays, after an incident occurred at Barangaroo station. A Sydney Metro spokesperson said an issue has arisen with the pantograph on one of the trains, which is the part on top of the carriage that fixes the vehicle to the overhead lines. Services are still running between Barangaroo and Tallawong. Shuttle services will be run between Barangaroo and Sydenham. 'Announcements are being made on-board and on platforms,' the spokesperson said. 'Troubleshooting of the train is underway.' Passenger services along the Metro line were delayed after 4pm, with staff at Martin Place Metro station telling passengers to use the heavy rail. Travel screens at the station were blank as afternoon crowds filled the platform. This is the third technical incident to hit Sydney's transport system in less than a week. Trains on the heavy rail network were delayed on Monday afternoon after a mental health incident near Artarmon resulted in a police operation. That followed chaos on Tuesday and Wednesday last week when an overhead electrical wire collapsed on a train near Homebush shutting off nearly all train lines. More to come.
