Summary
Thursday disruptions left parts of Australia without rail services after a nationwide Telstra outage continued to impair train communications a day later.
Australian Rail Track Corp. said the failure was still affecting the National Train Communications System, which relies on Telstra’s 4G network to communicate with drivers.
Passenger services remained paused, while the outage also hit the freight and passenger rail network the company operates across five states.
The lingering rail impact shows how Wednesday’s mobile and data outage spread beyond telecoms into critical transport operations.
