Sydney’s train strikes will not go ahead this weekend, with one of the state’s biggest-ever rail shutdowns averted after talks between the union and the NSW government.
The announcement means commuters will be able to catch the train from tomorrow to Sunday.
Premier Chris Minns joined the crisis talks with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) yesterday after Transport Minister Jo Haylen was unable to get the union to budge on its industrial action.
The union had said the strike would go on unless the government agreed to run 24-hour train services this weekend.
