The New South Wales government has appointed a three-person panel to conduct its a “short and sharp” review of the Sydney Trains network in the wake of the commuter chaos that swept the city one week ago.

Premier Chris Minns said the review would look for improvements to maintenance, punctuality and communication with passenger, in the wake of the live wire with enough voltage to instantly kill a human fell on the top of a train, trapping 300 passengers onboard and grinding nearly all heavy rail lines to a halt.

The aim here is not to repeat the previous review of Carolyn Walsh but I am confident her detailed knowledge of this issue and Kerry Schott’s vast experience supported by Trevor Armstrong will ensure valuable new insights are delivered.
