Commuters on the Scone and Dungog rail lines can expect delays from today as workers from the Australian Rail Track Corporation take industrial action over pay and conditions.
A 2-hour stoppage is planned for all coal, freight and passenger services from midday today, while back-to-back 24 hour strikes will take pace tomorrow and Saturday amid concerns the Corporation could be sold off, leading to a loss of working conditions.
The Rail Tram and Bus Union says services to Sydney will run as usual, but passenger trains running north of Newcastle will be affected by the stoppage.
