Transport for NSW alleges a railway site was broken into and signalling infrastructure damaged, causing major delays as sports fans headed home
Josh Murray, recently appointed as the secretary for Transport for NSW, told 2GB radio on Thursday morning he had visited the site that was allegedly broken into and damaged.
He said security was being tightened across the train network but he would find out if the process needed to be sped up at certain stations, including Ashfield. “We have a security enhancement program that’s under way now across the network, but I’ll be asking the team today if this needs to be reordered and if sites like this need to be accelerated,” Murray said.Murray said electrical engineers at the site explained that the alleged vandalism had brought down the train network because it was “like working from home and someone up the road from your house starts dismantling the NBN box at the end of your street”.
