In the media: Sydney rail workers refuse to staff new trains
9 Feb 2020: NSW rail workers will refuse to staff the state’s new intercity fleet, citing safety concerns with the multibillion-dollar trains, escalating tensions between the Berejiklian government and rail union.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union said there is a “design fault” with the $2 billion South Korean-built fleet, which has already had its rollout delayed across NSW. The government disputes the claim.
