The Sydney Morning Herald has revealed the warranty on the cracked Inner West light rail vehicles expired five years ago, calling back into question who will pay for the repairs.

Shadow transport minister Jo Haylen told Jim Wilson the NSW government has ‘clearly failed’ their due diligence to taxpayers.

“You could get a better warranty on a new flat screen TV or a new fridge than this.”

Several recent transport debacles prove NSW residents “don’t need any more evidence” that ferries, trains and trams should be manufactured locally, she argued.

“The common thread here is that all of this transport infrastructure was built overseas.”
