🚨 Newtown Train Delays Escalate Amid Police Activity

Train services through Newtown and surrounding suburbs are currently facing significant disruptions due to ongoing police activity near the tracks at Newtown.

Transport for NSW has issued alerts indicating that services are running late, with some trains not stopping at Macdonaldtown, Newtown, Petersham, and Lewisham stations. This marks an escalation from previous reports of general operational issues at Newtown Station.

Commuters on the Leppington & Inner West Line and Liverpool & Inner West Line are particularly affected. Passengers travelling from the city may find trains stopping at different platforms than usual and could experience substantial delays. It is advised that some travellers may need to change trains to complete their journey. Furthermore, trains may stop on platforms or between stations for longer periods while the incident is being managed.

Authorities urge all commuters in Newtown and the wider Inner West area to check real-time transport apps and station information screens for the latest service updates before travelling, and to allow for considerable extra travel time.
