Summary
Disruptions were still widespread on Wednesday, as public transport users had to contend with delayed and cancelled train services for their second evening commute home in as many days. Chris Minns urged workers to leave the office early or work from home entirely if possible to avoid the peak-hour period. Trains were yet to return to timetable frequencies, with commuters warned of 20-30 minute gaps in between services for the Wednesday evening peak period. Minns warned government data provided to apps such as TripView was not reliable, and that travellers should brace for long waits. He said the government was considering a “short and sharp” review of Sydney trains.
