A Widespread Power Outage Is Causing Major Delays Across Sydney's Train Network This Morning
While the outage has been repaired, commuters should still expect delays across seven train lines.
If you were planning to commute by train this Monday morning, it may take you a bit longer than expected.
A "wide-spread power outage", impacting all signalling between Ashfield and Strathfield, occurred in the early hours of the morning on Monday, April 29, which has resulted in delays across the network. Transport for NSW has reported that while repairs are complete there are still major delays across the T1 Western & North Shore Line, T2 Inner West & Leppington Line, T3 Bankstown Line, T8 Airport & South Line, T9 Northern Line, Blue Mountains Line and Central Coast & Newcastle Line.
Bus services are also supplementing trains between Redfern, Strathfield and Lidcombe.
The SMH is reporting that some services, including the T8 line, are experiencing delays of more than an hour.
Commuters are being told to allow for extra travel time, and to check real-time apps and indicator screens at the stations for updates.
To stay up-to-date with delays, check the Transport for NSW website and real-time apps.
