Train delays may hit thousands of fans expected to flock to Optus Stadium this afternoon to watch the Perth Scorchers in their first home game of the Big Bash League season.
Transperth issued a statement at 2.40pm saying trains would continue to run, but they would not be running to a regular schedule.
“Please allow extra travelling time and be aware that delayed trains may not connect with timetabled bus and train services,” the statement said.
The issue appears to be a “major signalling problem” at Optus Stadium.
The double header will see the men’s team take to the pitch against the Adelaide Strikers at 4.15pm, followed by the women at 7.45pm, who will be battling it out against Brisbane Heat.
Gates opens at 2.45pm.
