Sydney's train network is set for another weekend of delays and disruptions, causing major concerns for commuters and concertgoers alike.
Sydney train delays Sydney commuters face major delays due to ongoing industrial action.
According to Sydney Trains, staff shortages due to ongoing industrial action have resulted in widespread cancellations and lengthy delays across the network. Passengers are advised to allow extra travel time or seek alternative transport.
The disruptions are the result of a long-running pay dispute between the NSW Government and the Rail, Tram, and Bus Union (RTBU). In response to the standoff, the government has issued 5,000 lockout notices to rail workers, forcing significant service reductions. As a result, more than 800 trains were canceled in a single day, with hundreds more delayed.

With thousands of people expected to attend concerts and major events over the weekend, there are growing fears that the disruptions will cause travel chaos across the city. The Fair Work Commission has stepped in, urging both parties to resolve the dispute, but no agreement has been reached so far.
Commuters are encouraged to check live updates before heading out and consider buses or rideshare services as alternative transport options.
