Sydney siders warned of new train strikes over New Year’s Eve

Rail unions are threatening strike action on one of the busiest nights of the year for the public transport network as Sydneysiders aim to commute to and from New Year’s Eve celebrations. Members are expected to vote on new proposals for fresh industrial action, which could begin on December 27. Rail services are expected to return to a normal timetable today after several days of strikes initiated by engineers at some train depots.
