Track work postponed to give Knights fans a smooth ride to grand final

20 days ago by zero_gravitas to c/newcastle

Planned train track works will not go ahead on the day of the NRL grand final after hundreds of Newcastle Knights fans were stranded at stations following a freight service breakdown ahead of the preliminary final.

In short:

Thousands of Knights fans were left deflated on the way to yesterday's NRL preliminary final after major train delays.

The wheels of a Pacific National freight service failed near Wyee yesterday morning, bringing transport to a standstill for hours.

What's next?

Transport for NSW is working to ensure public transport runs smoothly this weekend for the NRL grand final, with planned track works postponed.

Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.
