‘The entire #Sydney rail network went down this afternoon, causing transport chaos for millions. The cause was the failure of a digital communications system (the Digital Train Radio System).

I've seen comments online from someone claiming to work at #SydneyRail that responsibility for DTRS has recently been privatised by the #Coalition NSW state government under Premier #Perrottet.

Can anyone clarify?
