Severe weather conditions: Avoid non-essential rail travel

Train passengers should avoid non-essential travel across the rail network after wild weather disrupted services and caused damage to infrastructure.

Due to fallen trees, trains on some routes have been cancelled.

Motorists across Eastern NSW are being urged to prepare for delays and disruptions, as extreme weather is set to lash the region today and into the coming days.

Transport for NSW is warning that damaging to locally destructive winds, heavy rainfall, and hazardous surf conditions will impact key coastal areas from the Mid North Coast down to the South Coast, including the Hunter, Central Coast, Sydney, and Illawarra.

Plan ahead and stay informed

If you must travel, please allow plenty of extra travel to get to your destination. Be prepared for disruptions, including possible road closures and public transport delays. 

Public transport customers are strongly encouraged to:

  • Check alerts for real-time travel information.
  • Be careful of slippery conditions when travelling through stops and stations.

  • Leave plenty of extra travel time if you are using the public transport network.
