The digital train radio system, which connects trains to Sydney Trains’ rail operations centre at Green Square, failed at about 2.45pm. He also ruled out a cyber attack. Longland said the “root cause” of the network-wide failure of the five-year-old digital train radio system would be fully investigated. “Whilst the rail network was fully operational, we aren’t able to operate trains safely while the train crew can’t communicate to the Rail Operation Centre,” he said.
