 On 9 June 1998 a Tangara passenger train on a southbound movement in the early hours of the morning derailed between Concord West and North Strathfield stations ending up partially in a local street, and almost completely blocking all North and Southbound rail lines.The cause was excessive train speed by the driver as he passed over points switching the train to a relief line at mainline speed.It was found that the Driver had insufficient warning of the turnout due to previously radioed information and very close signals.
