Sydney Trains worker.

@rilez A train carked it in the ESR tunnel near Edgecliff and pretty much threw the Illawarra/South coast line into chaos. even with altered working and transpositions it was a mess

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

Absolute chaos. What a mess.
The #RTBU put a hold on the altered working/transposition ban so train crew and station staff can work on trying to get things back to schedule - not fun for anyone

Sydney Trains have just announced the reduced timetable will AGAIN operate tomorrow. With all trackwork postponed, it's beyond me why they can't run a Saturday baseline timetable with all the crew and rollingstock sitting around. #stillnotonstrike

A message for union members and supporters on scare campaigns, disinformation and lies during the election campaign #auspol

[David Kimpton 🚂 @DavidKimpton1]

Still a lot of uncertainty from crew about what they're meant to do. Normally we know in advance what we're doing, even with altered working. Today, everyone's going in blind and having to roll with the punches. But that's what we do to keep things moving.

After the disaster that was yesterday, I have a rostered day off today. It still looks like it's going to be a mess. Crew are all still at work and all on "Standby", they could run extra services. Not sure if mgmt or union called for today's bare minimum timetable. #nswpol

@StephenJonesMP Thank you Stephen, our electorate is lucky to have an MP with such integrity

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

I have just been notified that services will resume tomorrow
All train crew will be on standby and work as directed (this could have easily been done today also)
Services may be disjointed but trains will be running!

@friendlyjordies bit of info from the workers side regarding todays lockouts

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

I am a guard on the Sydney Trains network. We have turned up to sign on for duty and been advised that Sydney Trains and NSW Trainlink have decided to cancel all trains for today
This was not our decision!

@sanjoygandhi1 Sydney Trains and NSW Trainlink had plenty of time to adjust, services would have been running in a way that would have been a minor at worst inconvenience to the customers.
They fought it twice at FWC last night and lost both times so they shut down the network

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

@sanjoygandhi1 Not correct.
The Union agreed to cancel the ban on overtime as well as working to master roster.
The jobs are currently weekend running until the 28th, the ban on altered working that was still going ahead is a separate - meaning any changes to the job number scheduled itself

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

about the reality of what we have been dealing with for the past 10+ months before it came to the situation many workers & customers are in today
Talk from this government is cheap,but their actions are dangerous 2/2

@smh I'm a train driver. I'm at work ready to drive trains. So are all the other drivers (and guards, and signallers, and station staff) rostered to work today. We didn't call for this cancellation, the government and ST/NSWTL management did. WE ARE NOT ON STRIKE.

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

@DavidKimpton1 Could have been alot worse, thankfully alot of the public are wise to these games the Govt is trying to play - because they've been doing it long enough in everything else

Prime Minister Scott Morrison “This is not how you treat your fellow citizens"
We are here at our workplace ready and willing to work , we haven't hopped on a flight to Hawaii

@nkmccallum Respect, fairness and safety in the work environment is something that every worker should get from their employer

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

@captain_says I knew as soon as I was made aware of no services at sign-on that this was going to happen. Just ridiculous behaviour. No reason at all for it

[Guard @TrainGuardSyd]

We know the government has the media in its pockets to make us workers the bad guy in this situation.
We dont expect to have media support, however we do wish the public to have the true info you won't get from them

The workers have not engaged in any industrial action that has not been approved by the FWC weeks (and in some cases months) prior.
This is not a snap strike, this is not a strike full stop. This is management.

6 trains here at Waterfall.
We have more than enough drivers and guards here right now willing to get them moving. This is just one location where we currently have enough crew ready to go and get people moving.
