A fallen electrical wire exposing faulty components has halted testing on the $2.9-billion Parramatta light rail project.
An electrical wire fell onto a tram during a test of the new Parramatta light rail line two weeks ago.Transport Minister Jo Haylen says the latest delays are "frustrating" and that it is not clear when the long-awaited service will open.The opening of the Parramatta light rail has been pushed back to next year after an electrical wire fell onto a tram and revealed equipment defects across the network.
Testing has been halted for at least 10 days since the problem in the overhead wiring system was discovered. Services will not start running until later in the year after testing revealed issues along the line. At that point there was still hope for a pre-Christmas opening but that is out of the question after the latest incident.
