Train Chaos Hits The Hunter

 BY IAN CROUCH

No trains will be running in Sydney or across NSW on Monday after talks between Transport for NSW and the Rail Tram and Bus Union broke down on Sunday night.

It means no suburban, inter-urban or country trains will run.

While the union maintains there will only be limited disruptions, the government says the union's ongoing industrial campaign makes it impossible to safely operate services.

Transport for NSW says commuters should make alternative arrangements

Today's disruption follows more than 30 meetings between the union and Transport for NSW over the past six months to resolve a range of claims.

The parties are due back in the Fair Work Commission at 9 o'clock on Monday morning.
