Yes it happened.

It appears that wheel profiles being cut at Spotswood on NRs are not correct
for NSW standards. There is insufficient contact to short the signalling
circuits.

NRs running light engine must now proceed under BLOCK WORKING. I have seen
an additional instruction that ALL locos running light must be under block
conditions. This should tie up most of the system!!!

Talk about knee-jerk reaction.
