From Friday morning, trains across and into Sydney will come to a halt. The NSW government has said there will be some new measures to help address demand, but what exactly will they be?
With Sydney's train network set to pause from Friday morning, what does it mean for other public transport networks?With Sydney's train services expected to grind to a halt over the weekend from tomorrow morning, the immediate question is how the city will respond.
The Metro line is also expected to continue running on Friday, with services running every 4 minutes until 8pm, then every 8 minutes until 1:30am. Transport for NSW has confirmed that a "major event bus plan" is in development for Sydney Olympic Park, which will be confirmed before Saturday, but that this won't be able to cater all routes or capacities."We will do everything we can, but we cannot accommodate a million people a day switching to other modes of transport," Transport Secretary Josh Murray said.
But, given the extent of disruptions and the number of replacement coaches required, it's expected that services will be cancelled over the shutdown period.
