Commuters are facing significant disruptions as Sydney trains experience morning cancellations and delays due to urgent overhead wiring repairs at Chatswood. Transport for NSW has implemented limited bus services to replace trains on the north shore, causing major delays and cancellations across multiple lines. From Gordon to Chatswood, limited buses are the only mode of transport.
An unscheduled rail shuttle service will run between Hornsby and Gordon, with trains terminating at North Sydney and Berowra continuing as normal. Those traveling from the north may need to transfer at Strathfield and connect with the Metro at Epping. The north shore is also linked to the Western line, and a reduced frequency service will be implemented from the west.
