People in Sydney have been told to avoid all non-necessary travel as wild weather lashes the coast of New South Wales.
Transport for NSW released an updated warning on Wednesday to Sydneysiders urging them to be prepared for disruptions.
‘Train passengers should avoid non-essential travel across the rail network after wild weather disrupted services and caused damage to infrastructure,’ it said.
‘Due to fallen trees, trains on some routes have been cancelled.
‘Motorists across Eastern NSW are being urged to prepare for delays and disruptions, as extreme weather is set to lash the region today and into the coming days.’
Trains are not running between Penrith and St Marys on the T1 Western line due to a tree blocking the track at Kingswood.
A very limited number of replacement buses are running between Penrith and St Marys.
It’s not known when the track will be reopened.
Check information displays for service updates & allow plenty of extra travel time.
‘We’ve seen some really significant damages,’ Sydney Trains chief executive Matt Longland told ABC Radio Sydney, particularly in Western Sydney and on the Central Coast.
