More than 80 percent of Sydney trains were cancelled during the afternoon travel peak on Jan. 15, causing an “incalculable cost” to the economy, according to New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns.
Passengers are being warned to stay home unless necessary, as storms compound the already complicated situation.
