On the inbound track through the Glebe tunnel there has been a hole 2/3 of the way in that has existed for years, with a TSR that has recently been extended with speed lowered from 40 to 20kmh. Apparently running in a tamper for a lift and line of the hole, with some extra ballast, is just too hard. Also, the original 80kmh limit through the tunnel has been cut to 60 in both directions.
