Fair Work Commission ruling means certainty for rail passengers

Published

The Fair Work Commission yesterday ruled in favour of a “cooling off period” from 10pm last night (19 February 2025) until 1 July 2025.  

This means all industrial action will end to allow Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink to focus on negotiating and finalising a deal with the Combined Rail Unions (CRU). 

The Commission found that it was “in the public interest” for industrial action to pause. 

This morning, almost all rail services are currently running on time. 

Passengers now have certainty that their rail services will not be affected with the types of disruption that industrial action has caused recently. 

The Rail Agencies remain committed to continuing to negotiate with the CRU.  

Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink thank all passengers for their patience during this period of disruption.
