Sydney train delays and disruption for a second day on Tuesday as commuters endure chaos

Reduced train services will plague commuters from Tuesday morning for up to a week after a messy dispute between unions and the New South Wales state government caused widespread havoc for commuters.

NSW Transport Minister David Elliot said trains will run from 5am at a minimum of every 30 minutes – with some stations running every 15 minutes – but journey times will be longer because trains will need to make more stops.

Mr Elliot also said the ‘limited train services’ across Greater Sydney from 5am were mainly for essential workers and encouraged other commuters to find alternative transportation.

A fleet of 150 rail replacement buses will be brought in to run along major rail corridors, with the normal train timetable not expected to resume for several days.
