Sydney commuters are being told to brace for major delays to trains services throughout Friday due to a communication issue affecting the city’s rail network.
Trains on Friday morning were held for at least 20 minutes for safety reasons following the glitch, which led to further scheduled services being disrupted until about 11am.
Sydney Trains said information display screens on platforms were also relaying the wrong travel information. The disruption is expected to continue during the Friday afternoon rush hour.Stops & platforms may change at short notice and journeys will take longer.In a social media alert posted before midday, the rail operator urged travellers to consider other modes of transport for the day while the issues are resolved.
“Please allow plenty of extra travel time due to a network-wide communications issue earlier,” Sydney Trains wrote on X.“Delay travel if possible or considering using other transport.” Commuters have also been told to reconfirm train schedules with station staff and listen to announcements, as service updates are expected to change at short notice.
