Train services are cancelled or delayed after track repairs at Central Station.
Sydney’s train network was thrown into chaos with extensive delays and multiple cancelled services after urgent repairs at Central Station.
The T9 and T1 North Shore and Western lines are seeing the worst of the delays.
Between 8am and 9am more than a third of all services have been cancelled from Burwood and the trains that are running are delayed.
On the T1 line there are delays of around 40 minutes. Commuters are urged to take the Metro if possible as Sydney Trains scrambles to put on more services.
The T2, T3 and T8 lines are also experiencing delays.
Transport for NSW’s rail operations director Jas Tumber told 2GB the delays were caused by a broken rail at Central Station.
“Because it is a significant broken rail we are having to cut a section of the rail out and replace it this morning, which as you can imagine, logistically is very complex to do whilst we’re still operating the network,” he said.
