Commuter chaos ensued in Sydney on Friday when a fallen overhead wire disrupted train services and trapped passengers. The incident, which occurred near Redfern Station, forced several trains to a standstill.
Response teams were working to free passengers from at least three affected trains. Power has been cut off to the rail line between Central and Newtown stations as a result of the fallen wire. Services on the T2, T3, and T8 lines have experienced significant impacts.
