Commuters have been warned to expect “very significant” disruptions imminently across Sydney’s train network – including in the lead up to the busy new year period – after a court quashed a bid to halt industrial action.
It led the New South Wales transport minister, Jo Haylen, to concede on Thursday afternoon that the government had no certainty about the level of train services that would run from now until a new pay deal is struck, after the federal court earlier in the day dismissed the Minns government’s attempt to stop industrial action – including work stoppages – that rail unions had voted to take.
