In short:

Footage has emerged of a moving Sydney Metro's carriage door being left wide open during Wednesday morning's commute.

The driverless metro service was running between Chatswood and Crows Nest about 8am.

What's next?

The incident is now under investigation, with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union calling on Sydney Metro to stop operations until interim safety measures are implemented.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

I was hoping you might show up 😆

Tell me, though, how is it un-typical?

[–] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well there are a lot of these metro trains going around Sydney all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that metro trains aren’t safe.

Was this metro train safe?

[–] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

I'm becoming disturbed about the number of interviews that Senator Collins is being required to give....

The 'front is falling off' too many things.

[–] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Well, some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all.
