After accusing the rail union on Monday of 'terrorist-like activity' and 'hijacking the city' over what he incorrectly labelled a 'strike' action, NSW transport minister David Elliott has said the government is now negotiating a new rail enterprise agreement.
During an extraordinary press conference, Elliott revealed he went to bed while his department was grappling with whether to shut down Sydney’s rail network on Sunday night.
Monday’s disruption caused commuter chaos across the city, with effects felt across the network including routes connecting Sydney to the Blue Mountains, the south coast and Newcastle. The union’s industrial action will continue, with trains expected to continue at a similar frequency on Tuesday and Wednesday.
