A dedicated bus service was put in place to operate from Central Station to both Domestic and International terminals, but only in that direction.
Sydney Trains confirmed repairs were finished before 12pm, though delays are expected to persist.
“Sydney Trains is working hard to provide a frequency of service on these lines; however, train crew have been displaced as a result of this earlier incident,” a Sydney Trains spokesman said.
“Sydney Trains apologises for any inconvenience caused.”
Passengers are advised to check transport apps, information screens, and listen to announcements before boarding trains, and to allow extra travel time.
