00:00The delays are affecting the T1 North Shore line and the T9 Northern line due to urgent

00:08track repairs and trains are not running on schedule as a result.

00:13Both of those trade lines are experiencing delays and they are still operating though

00:18between Wynyard and Hornsby and between Hornsby and Boroughra.

00:22Transport for New South Wales says that they're trying to do the repairs on the tracks as

00:26fast as they can but they are advising communities to seek alternate transport if possible including

00:32the bus if they can.

00:33Although speaking to some communities here at Central Station here in the centre of Sydney

00:39for those communities that aren't heading to work it's not that big of a deal but for

00:43those trying to head to work it is a Monday it's not the best start to the week.

00:46Here's what a few of them had to say.

00:48The worst ever.

00:50What line were you experiencing?

00:52The Western Sydney line.

00:54How long was it delayed?

00:55What happened?

00:56Delayed like two and a half hours.

00:59Yeah, worst ever.

01:01It feels like ever since they did all that rail blitz recently that nothing's actually

01:04improved and it's actually been more of a mess every single week.

01:08It's kind of really frustrating.

01:09Passengers should also expect delays on the T2 Inner West and Leppington, T3 Bankstown

01:16and T8 Airport and South line.

01:19Transport for New South Wales have been giving updates on the PA and via signage in the station
