Sydney commuters found themselves in a bit of a pickle this morning when their train suddenly came to a halt. As it turns out, a signalling communication problem had affected the service, leaving passengers stuck on the train for a whopping two hours. Talk about a rough start to the day!
The incident occurred around 8:15 am on the North West Metro Line, causing the train to stop between Cherrybrook and Epping. To add to the chaos, a loud buzzing noise filled the train, sending chills down the spines of the hundreds of passengers aboard. One passenger, Halle Farr, shared her frustration with 9News, revealing that she had missed her flight to the airport due to the unexpected delay.
As the train sat motionless, the air conditioning shut off, adding to the already tense atmosphere. However, the authorities reassured passengers to remain calm and informed them that they were aware of the issue and were working on a solution. But despite their efforts, it wasn't until 10:30 am that the problem was finally resolved.
As the train finally arrived at Epping, it was met with a bit of a surprise. The entire station was closed down, and passengers were directed onto replacement buses. It wasn't until 11 am that the platforms were reopened, and trains were up and running again.
Metro Trains Sydney expressed their regret over the major delays caused by the incident, acknowledging the inconvenience it caused for passengers. They also apologized for the lengthy amount of time it took to resolve the issue and promised to review their incident processes to prevent similar occurrences in the future. All's well that ends well, but let's hope this doesn't happen again anytime soon!
