Major delays continue Sydney train network after St James signal fault

Sydney’s rail network is still experiencing major delays after a signalling issue at St James Station brought parts of the system to a standstill.

The disruption has heavily impacted the T2, T3 and T8 lines, with some passengers reporting they were stuck on trains for more than an hour without announcements or updates.

The delays have been particularly difficult for travellers heading to Sydney Airport, with authorities advising commuters to seek alternative routes where possible.

Bus replacements have been rolled out in affected areas, while Transport for NSW says it is confident urgent track repairs will be completed soon.
