URGENT UPDATE: Night-time train services between Springwood and Lithgow will be suspended this week, with replacement buses taking over from September 29 to October 2. This significant change is due to essential trackwork and may be further complicated by ongoing driver shortages, according to Transport for NSW.
Passengers are urged to prepare for potential delays and cancellations during this period. The transport authority states, “We are doing all we can to minimize the impact on your journey and provide a safe service; however, cancellations or delays may occur.” This announcement comes as many commuters rely on night trains, making the disruptions particularly impactful for those traveling during late hours.
The replacement bus services will operate in lieu of the usual train routes, but officials caution that the availability of these services could be affected by the current shortage of drivers. For those planning to travel between these two locations, it’s crucial to stay updated on schedules and possible changes.
This development impacts local residents and commuters who depend on reliable transport options for work and other commitments. As the situation unfolds, passengers are advised to check for updates and plan their journeys accordingly.
Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
