Train Chaos Tonight

I know it's late but I'm listening to the scanner in bed and it seems that there is quite a large section of track without power right now.
Metro Control are extremely busy sorting out trains and stopping them at certain stations and the transit guards aren't sure what's going on (neither am I to be honest).
Anyone got info on what is happening?

Mass disruptions. Cockburn Central overloaded with people waiting for Buses to Perth..
EDIT - Managed to car pool a taxi with a few others from Cockburn to Fremantle - to catch train into the City.
Very limited Buses to replace the trains though...

Words cannot explain.

I just spent 20 mins waiting outside a locked train with a heap of other people, boards flashing 1 min until departure. Seems the driver had gone awol. Took that long for someone to realise and track him down!
Trains still delayed from this morning... This won't help!

It seems whoever jumped onto the train died.
