I saw the same generic "technical issue" message (I wish they'd be more forthcoming!) but never heard any more about what it was until I saw the "everything is back to normal" message a while ago.
Here is the email I got about it

Yep I got the same one. My bet is it was either a signals failure or a track fault of some kind - I think Claremont and Bassendean are the two locations off the top of my head where they can turn trains around on the Freo and Midland lines. I could be wrong however (I regularly am!)

Perth Underground and Esplanade stations were evacuated today causing delays on the Clarkson and Mandurah lines. Initial information says it was due to a "fault alarm" and not a fire
