Disruptions to Sydney’s rail networks to ease over the weekend

Disruptions to Sydney’s rail network this weekend may not be as bad as feared, after workers called off some planned industrial action. The government has temporarily met one of their demands, with two days of free train travel. It has also reached another deal with the union to lift work bans that were blocking the next stage of the metro. But as pay negotiations drag on, another industrial battle is coming to a head.
