Rail passengers at Emu Plains were unable to board a peak hour service on January 25 following an ongoing pay row with Sydney Train workers that resulted in a reduction of services.
Commuters faced disruption on Thursday with limited carriages and services as workers staged an overtime ban ahead of pay negotiations with the NSW Government, ABC reported. Over 1,000 trains were cancelled that day, with networks moving to a Saturday timetable ahead of a 24-hour industrial stop planned for Monday.
