Sydney commuters face more chaos after Metro services stopped in the CBD during the afternoon rush

Sydney commuters faced more chaos as Metro train services between Barangaroo and Sydenham stopped running during the afternoon rush on Tuesday.

A Sydney Metro spokesman said there was an issue with a pantograph that attaches the carriage to the overhead lines on one of the trains.

The spokesman said services were still operating north between Barangaroo and Tallawong, but shuttle services had replaced trains south between Barangaroo and Sydenham after 4pm.

“Announcements are being made on-board and on platforms,” the spokesman said.

“Troubleshooting of the train is underway.”

Commuters have faced ongoing issues during the past week after several incidents caused long delays on Sydney’s train services.

An emergency at Artarmon delayed services on Monday afternoon, which followed a virtual shutdown last week after an overhead electrical wire collapsed shutting off train lines in the city’s west.

Premier Chris Minns green lit free transport on Monday to compensate passengers for the inconvenience.

“Commuters should give us a chance to remediate on-time running and efficiency and make sure that punctuality is back to where it should be,” he said.

“I say that in the full knowledge that where we’re at the moment is nowhere near good enough.”
