Sydney Rail Repair Plan-NSW Minister Haylen acts on rail maintenance backlog
Transport Minister Jo Haylen inspected trackwork underway at Croydon Station in Sydney and announced the Sydney Rail Repair Plan – the biggest co-ordinated program of rail maintenance ever undertaken in Sydney.
The Plan is in response to the recent interim recommendations made by the expert panel conducting the Sydney Trains Review. It made 12 recommendations for restoring reliability to the network after a series of disastrous failures that left thousands of passengers stranded without trains, including three in March this year alone.

The Review found a huge maintenance backlog had led to equipment failures causing major shut-downs – equipment that should have been inspected, repaired, refurbished or replaced but wasn’t because maintenance crews could not get anywhere near sufficient access to the track.
