    ATTN SYDNEY TRAINS USERS

    Passengers travelling on the Western Line and Blue Mountains Line are advised to allow additional travel time due to a fatality at Seven Hills. Services are being diverted onto different sets of tracks, causing congestion in the area. As well, trains from the city are not stopping at Seven Hills Station so passengers wanting to travel to Seven Hills are advised to catch a train from the city to Blacktown then change for a citybound service back to Seven Hills. Passengers are also advised to listen to announcements and check indicator boards at stations.

    Well that explains why there was a green tarp from the stairs at platform 3 to the train.

    My train was held at Parramatta station for about 20 mins, which I didn't mind because the guard kept everyone informed but some people need to learn to listen to announcements. People were complaining because the trains were delayed and not stopping at Seven Hills!!!

    lol, that's what I get for using the previous post as a template. Deleted the wrong paragraph.

    Anyway, some delays earlier this morning:

    Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line:

    Passengers travelling to the city on the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line should have allowed additional travel time due to urgent signal repairs at Arncliffe earlier. Some flow-on delays were expected to services moving away from the City afterwards.

    North Shore Line:

    Passengers travelling away from the city on the North Shore Line should have allowed additional travel time due to a high number of passengers travelling on services.

    Just after I posted this I saw 2 Eastbound V-sets so I don't know why it said in both directions? Maybe a lack of rolling stock or drivers further west?
