Industrial action to disrupt NSW train services

Passengers are advised that industrial action this week may cause disruption to NSW train services.  
 
Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink have been notified about a range of industrial actions from the Rail, Tram, and Bus Union.  
 
The rail agencies continue to bargain in good faith with the Combined Rail Unions for a new enterprise bargaining agreement.
 
We have had two full day bargaining sessions with the Combined Rail Unions this week including yesterday, Tuesday 17 September, and today, Wednesday 18 September.
 
This industrial action could cause train services to be cancelled at short notice and impact the ability to respond to operational incidents on the rail network.  
 
In addition, weekend rail services may operate at lower frequency and there may be impacts on planned track work and special event transport services.  
 
Train service plans for the major events this weekend are under development, and we will update passengers as soon as possible.
 
We apologise for the inconvenience this industrial action may cause and ask passengers to plan ahead, leave extra travel time, and keep updated about any changes to services by using the Trip Planner, checking travel alerts and our social media channels.  
 
Rail replacement bus services between Campsie and Lidcombe will proceed between the 21-29 September 2024 as planned.
