Has been a major disruption on the trains this afternoon. Lightning strikes knocked out the signal box at Granville at around 4.50 pm today which saw all trains on the western line suspended for over an hour. Also signals at Blacktown were effected too. This will have an impact on the crowd.
I can attest to it as I was on a train at Granville Station when the signal box got hit. I sat there for over an hour before giving up on the train at 6.00 am. There were so many people waiting for a bus or a taxi I walked most of the way back to Parra before I got a taxi the rest of the way home (I only just got here).
Try off a bs offside call.
