No.

A passenger from the IP said that an announcement was put across the train
that they would be late arriving in Sydney due to some signalling faults,
and that that was the reason the IP was stationary.

Whilst I am NOT speculating on the cause of the accident (it is far too
early to do so, and we do not have enough information to do so yet) it does
give a reason as to why the interurban would be coming up so quick behind
the IP.
