    Posted in Sydney Suburban » Cityrail Service Interuptions - NOW WITH ADDED TRACKWORK!

    6 days late (well I've got to be like the real thing!)

    Hamilton - Central Line!
    Again at Hawkesury River major delays about the same piece(s) of track, with our already shortened train terminating at Broadmeadow, in total on average 1hr 30 min late, the following train we WERE going to go for cancelled, or terminated behind us somewhere. That's at least the third time that we have taken well in excess of 4 hours - one of them being almost 5 hours - one way!

    TUESDAY 15 SEP 2015
    And the same line with a "level crossing" repair at Koolewong.

    TODAY
    Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line
    Passengers catching trains towards Waterfall on the T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line are advised to allow additional travel time after a train had mechanical problems at Bondi Junction earlier. Passengers should also listen to announcements and check indicator boards.

    Southern Highlands Line
    Passengers catching the 6:10pm Moss Vale to Goulburn train and the 6:23pm Moss Vale to Campbelltown train are advised to allow an additional 20 minutes travel time after an earlier police operation at St James. Passengers should also listen to announcements and check indicator boards.

    EARLIER REPORTS
    Cumberland Line - Delays
    Posted 18/09/15 05:24PM The 4:09pm Campbelltown to Blacktown train and the 5:30pm Blacktown to Liverpool train have been cancelled due to an earlier police operation at St James. Passengers are advised to change trains at Granville to complete their journey. Passengers should also allow additional travel time, listen to announcements and check indicator boards.

    How can a delay at St James affect a Campbelltown to Blacktown train?

    Bankstown, Airport, Inner West and South Lines
    Posted 18/09/15 03:26PM : Passengers catching trains away from the city on the T2 Inner West & South Line and T3 Bankstown Line are advised to allow additional travel time after an earlier police operation at St James. Passengers should also listen to announcements and check indicator boards. Posted 18/09/15 03:18PM = same delay as at 15:26
