URGENT UPDATE: Night trains between Springwood and Lithgow will be suspended this week as Transport for NSW transitions to replacement bus services. This change will be effective from Monday, September 29, until Thursday, October 2, due to essential trackwork and ongoing driver shortages.
Passengers should be prepared for potential disruptions as officials warn that “cancellations or delays may occur” during this period. The transport authority emphasizes its commitment to minimizing the impact on travelers while ensuring a safe and reliable service.
While the replacement bus services are intended to maintain connectivity, the adjustment may cause inconvenience for those relying on the night train schedule. Travelers are urged to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.
This announcement comes as Transport for NSW strives to address staffing challenges exacerbated by the ongoing labor shortages in the transport sector. The agency is working diligently to recruit more drivers to restore full train services as soon as possible.
As the situation develops, commuters are advised to stay informed through the Transport for NSW website for real-time updates on service changes. The agency continues to prioritize passenger safety and efficiency amid these operational adjustments.
Stay tuned for further updates as we monitor this developing story.
