Trackwork helps keep our network safe and reliable. We sometimes need to close sections of the track so our maintenance crews can safely carry out repairs and upgrades to keep our transport network safe and our services more reliable.
Most trackwork happens outside of busy travel times, usually overnight or on weekends. However in some cases, work may need to take place on weekdays.
Planned trackwork is usually available up to two weeks in advance.
Replacement bus services are often used where there is trackwork or service disruption. Trackwork may also require changes to the timetable and route.
Most replacement bus services are Opal enabled and you will need to tap on or tap off using a valid Opal card, contactless debit or credit card. Fines apply if you travel without a valid ticket.
