Sydney light rail shuttered for urgent repairs after week of massive delays to trains, Metro

Light rail services have been scuttled across Sydney’s bustling CBD only a week after the train network was thrown into chaos after a single incident.

The L2 and L3 light rail services were down shortly before 10am on Thursday between Town Hall and Circular Quay due to urgent tram repairs at Town Hall.

Commuters were instead urged to take the train between the two stops, with light rail services still operational between Town Hall and Randwick and Juniors Kingsford.

The repairs are the latest blow to the city’s up to one million daily train passengers after services were thrown into disarray during peak-hour last week.

Almost a day after a live wire with enough voltage to kill a human instantly fell on top of a train at Strathfield, passengers were still facing heavy delays.

The issue ricocheted across Sydney’s train network, causing delays to the T1, T2, T3 and T8 lines and sparking a free fare day and internal review.

On Wednesday, commuters again faced delays following a power issue on a Metro line train at Barangaroo – services were restored by 7pm.
