Train strikes will go ahead again in Sydney today despite the NSW government reaching an agreement with the rail union.
The Perrottet government provided a deed to the union on Wednesday agreeing to its demands to modify the new Korean-built innercity train fleet.
The government was hoping this would be a turning point in the dispute and that the union would show good faith and call off the train strikes. However, Rail, Tram and Bus Union Secretary Alex Claassens said it was too late as the union needs a 48-hour period of time to go through the approval process.
