A bad weekend?
No they didn't.
They had one train fail. It was 2 hrs.

Not one train fail. 31 ?

It’s a great bit of kit, but they copped some flack from 000. That’s a bad weekend in anyone’s books. This is why they are testing. I’m sure they will get it sorted.

NSW’s fire agency commanders have savaged the private operator of Sydney’s metro line for its dire response to a system-wide outage which left passengers stuck on trains in tunnels for two hours, warning of an “absolute failure” of emergency plans and “zero appreciation” of danger to life by rail staff.

The meltdown that suddenly stopped 31 driverless trains on Saturday morning comes less than three weeks before a $21.6 billion extension of the line under Sydney Harbour and the CBD is due to open to passengers on August 4.

Internal reports by senior commanders from Fire and Rescue NSW, along with an incident log, detail the disarray confronting firefighters on Saturday as they worked to help free about 100 passengers trapped on five trains along the Metro Northwest line between Tallawong and Chatswood.
