No, I mean literally stopped, all lined up one after another at the red signals. They were back when I drove back, at about 12.30.

Don't rely on getting on a train today... 40 drivers have called in sick.

Re: All trains in/out of the city stopped
Not quite true with that statement.
If your going to the city on the Armadale / Midland / Fremantle Lines, no delays are expected.
However, Mandurah / Joondalup lines your looking at a service every 1/2hr with a 6-car train. Its going to be almightly squished!

Wonder why the hell they can't pull some of the drivers from the Armadale/Midland/Freo line.. !

Sorry Fastlane, that was a bit harsh of me!
Probably find out that there may be different awards on the different lines and not all drivers are allowed to driver the B - Sets as they are not trained.

Re: All trains in/out of the city stopped
Yep..... I was one of thousands who were affected this morning.
Now I get a true understanding of what Sardines jam packed into a tin, feel like........
Complaint sent to Transperth...
They could have at least given commuters a free ride for having to wait over an hour for a train. (Mandurah line).

The 3 lines not affected the drivers are biased out of Claisbrook, the other 2 lines are from Nowergup or Mandurah
Having 40 drivers off sick is going to cause a big dent in staffing no matter how you look at it, either way you wont be able to get the service to full with that amount off.

Re: All trains in/out of the city stopped
AO11912, not all drivers are cross qualified. Unfortunately, the discussion with Fastlane was made about why they didnt borrow drivers from Claisebrook.
