Riding to work today all the boom gates at Gosnells are down with Railway Security directing traffic hundreds of people on the gosnells station, hundreds outside in the bus terminal and two trains at the station not moving either way. Anyone know whats going on?

Despite the transperth site saying everything is ok if you actually click the armadale line it shows this:

08:52 To Perth C pattern from platform 1 (2 cars) CANCELLED
09:07 To Perth C pattern from platform 1 (2 cars) CANCELLED
09:09 To Armadale C pattern from platform 2 (2 cars) CANCELLED

No further news though

Not enough power in the overhead lines. Can be because of numerous reasons
