Severe weather conditions: Check before you travel

Travellers are advised to stay across updates from emergency services and check transport apps before setting off in coastal areas after heavy rain and intense winds.

Current impacts: 

  • On the Central Coast & Newcastle Line, buses continue to replace trains between Wyong and Fassifern due to overhead wiring repairs at Dora Creek.   

  • On the South Coast Line, trains are running at a reduced speed due to the wet weather.  

  • Several bus routes around Sydney and the regions diverting due to flooded local roads.  

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:

  • Plan your trip before leaving home
  • Check alerts for real-time travel information.
  • Be careful of slippery conditions when travelling through stops and stations.
