Passengers using the public transport network this weekend are advised to plan ahead, with a full Metro closure, partial L1 Dulwich Hill Line closure and Sydney Trains trackwork.
Metro
Across the weekend, Metro services do not run between Tallawong and Sydenham. Buses replace trains between Tallawong and Chatswood only. This closure is essential to completing the integration and testing of the control systems that will enable the M1 Line to extend beyond Sydenham to Bankstown next year.
Passengers should use T1 North Shore Line services between Chatswood and Wynyard or T9 Northern Line services between Epping and Central, and T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line services between Martin Place and Sydenham. For travel between Wynyard and Central, use L2 or L3 light rail services. For travel to and from Waterloo, use local buses or trains from Redfern.
Light Rail
From Saturday 1 November to Friday 7 November inclusive, Sydney’s L1 Dulwich Hill Line services will not run between Central and Convention, as crews carry out critical upgrades to maintain the safety and reliability of the network.
The line will remain operational between Convention and Dulwich Hill, but customers travelling to or from Central will need to use replacement bus services, regular buses, or walk where practical.
Buses will run every six minutes in the peak and 15 off peak, though exact timings may vary depending on road conditions.
However, replacement buses will not stop at several intermediate light rail stations: Capitol Square, Paddy’s Markets, Exhibition Centre, and Pyrmont Bay.
Rail
On the Sydney Trains network, trains do not run on the City Circle or between Central and Wynyard from 10pm Friday across the weekend. For travel around the City, use T4 trains, light rail or local buses. L2 and L3 light rail services run between Central and Circular Quay.
On the T1 Western Line and T5 Cumberland Line, buses replace trains between Richmond and Riverstone. Trains run between Riverstone and Liverpool.
On the T2 Leppington & Inner West Line and T3 Liverpool & Inner West Line, buses replace Inner West trains all weekend between Strathfield and Central.
On the South Coast Line, on Sunday from 9am to 6:30pm, buses replace trains between Port Kembla and Wollongong.
Trackwork on other lines may affect how you travel. Trains may run to a changed timetable and stopping pattern. Passengers may need to change trains to complete their journey and are encouraged to allow extra travel time and plan ahead by visiting transportnsw.info/alerts or using trip planning apps.
