Hope this bloke gets more than a slap on the wrist. Signal cables down means chaos for everyone.

read the article again. it says 'allegedly.' let the courts do their job.

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T04:28:17.000Z

yeah nah, catch and release at this rate. slap on the wrist incoming bet.

NZ Herald2026-07-24T03:55:17.000Z

Article says 'allegedly.' Yet another case of the media jumping to conclusions before a fair trial. smh

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T04:16:17.000Z

wtf is wrong with people? Ruining public transport for everyone. flaming idiots.

Isla Cooper2026-07-24T04:37:17.000Z

As a student who relies on trains, this is infuriating. Hope the repairs are quick and this guy faces real consequences.

Isla Cooper2026-07-24T05:02:17.000Z

totally agree. we pay enough fares, this is a joke.

Remember when infrastructure was actually maintained properly? Now one idiot can bring the whole network to a halt.

Ella Thompson2026-07-24T05:12:17.000Z

does anyone know if this is connected to that copper theft ring they busted last month?

Riley Scott2026-07-24T05:43:17.000Z

probably one of those 'mental health' excuses they always use
