Passengers on board a packed driverless metro train were left gripping handrails during peak hour on Wednesday morning when a door was left open while it was travelling at high speed along the underground line on Sydney’s north shore.

The incident occurred shortly after 8am on the city-bound service between Chatswood and Crows Nest stations on the M1 metro line.

1. No big deal. As a school kid in the 70s we rode the red rattlers with doors open and packed in like sardines. 2. City rail’s idea of high speed is probably 40 kmh

City rail hasn’t existed for more than a decade

Did someone program the Metro with Red Ratter mode? 🫢

Only a matter of time before the RTBU demand drivers on each train in case of doors opening.

Made in India 🇮🇳

The country they’re manufactured in has nothing to do with this.

Just like the good old days
