Be warned. Sydney city trains out this weekend

Sorry meant to post this earlier. Cruisers need to constantly check the rail websites for train outages in Sydney due to scheduled maintenance and hot weather delays.

All city to airport trains are replaced by buses this weekend. With the scorching hot weather predicted for today, this will not be a comfortable way to travel from airport to ship etc. so take a cab or book a chauffer/hire car.

There is a handy App called TripView or the web site is http://www.sydneytrains.info

Buses from the domestic airport pick up at the Public Pickup Point whilst at the International they directly outside arrivals near the McDonalds exit near exit A.

Thanks for the info Hugh. Handy to know where to check for future trips. It is certainly a hot system going through at the moment.

Thanks Hugh, it can really mess up people's travel plans if they are unprepared.

Another oddity for Sydney is that the International Airport departures access road gets very busy on Sunday morning. This morning it was still backed up to the M5 exit at Marsh st at 9.30am

I know of many people who missed flights because of this. Access from the city is slightly better but i still allow extra time to get to international on Sunday mornings.

Friday evening seems to be busiest at domestic terminals.

Thanks for the link and information this will come in handy when I have to travel to Sydney to get on a cruise. (unfortunately not this weekend but soon:))

I have checked the forecast schedule of track work and it will be fine for my cruise.:D

I still have three weeks to go so I have bookmarked the sight.;)

Thanks we got Princess transfers booked with them to White Bay on the 16 December so shouldn't effect us hopefully.

Can't recall any track work occurring during the weekdays only in the evenings.:D

Does happen during school holidays and usually at the most inconvenient time.

School holidays do not start until late December though.:D

Here is the link to future track work, may need to change tabs. http://www.sydneytrains.info/service_updates/trackwork/?period=1&lineId=

Thanks for the heads up. Going on the Radiance on Saturday so I will change my plans.
