Telstra outage & V/Line train system at a stand still!

All train services of V/Line delayed until father notice Telstra is down and train radio lost communication.

Trend emerges & climax is V/Line CEO is seen at 5A. It seem strange 15 min before boarding most the checks were completed Loco Haul cancelled.

PA advises Swan Hill 07:38 Service is delayed 35 mins due to some technical issue
