University student Manas Chigurukota, 17, walked from Redfern to Railway Square near Central to get a bus to Parramatta, but found none were stopping as they were all full.“It’s quite overwhelming, appalling, I’ve never seen it before,” he said.Michael KoziolAmong those was Karli Ryan-Norman who was trying to travel back to St Marys in Sydney’s west to pick her child up from daycare.“I have been waiting here for half an hour... I have to get the Penrith train, I will get home about 7pm.“4.
Longland said that at about 2.45pm, the Digital Train Radio System failed. This is the system that connects the train crew with signallers and the rail operations centre.Commuters await alternative transport at Wynyard station.Engineers initially tried to reset the system but were unable to, forcing them to cut the system and move to their backup site.
