Re: IWLR suspended due to flooding in Hay St. Again (17th June 2019)

Yeah, those heavy showers causing flash floods are anticipated though - that they have the scissors x-over at Bathurst St before the start of the APS so they can turn back everything at Town Hall once the APS fails (assuming they can get past Hay St).

I reckon that soon enough wire will go up on George St and the APS rail will become an artefact of the archeology of failure and folly.
