Sydney trains hit by a second day of chaos as worker’s full list of planned action is revealed

Sydney commuters are being warned to brace for a second day of chaos as rail unions plan more disruptions. 

An estimated 40 per cent – about 1,500 rail services – were cancelled or significantly delays for up to six hours during peak hour on Wednesday morning as part of industrial bans from the combined rail unions. 

More disruptions are expected on Thursday, with 350 ongoing and new industrial bans underway. 

Sydney Trains chief executive Matt Longland said two more days of industrial action has been planned, with disruptions set to worsen from Friday. 

Mr Longland explained disruptions on Thursday would be the result of the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) refusing to undertake critical maintenance at Bondi Junction and Homebush 

The lack of maintenance caused issues with the signal system leading to widespread cancellations across the entire network. 

‘We’re asking everyone to plan ahead, if you need to travel [on Thursday] keep up-to-date with the latest information,’ Mr Longland said.
