Overview

• A pantograph fault on Tuesday afternoon forced Metro services between Barangaroo and Sydenham to stop during the evening rush.
• Northbound trains continued to Tallawong, but shuttle buses carried passengers south of Barangaroo after 4 pm.
• Sydney Metro has begun troubleshooting the affected train unit, according to a spokesman.
• The disruption follows last week’s virtual shutdown caused by an overhead wire collapse and Monday’s Artarmon emergency.
• Premier Chris Minns green-lit free travel days and pledged to restore on-time running after weeks of service delays.
