RAIL passengers are advised to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time as track work this weekend on the South Coast Line and revitalisation work at Central Station next week will mean changes to train services and timetables.

The work has been scheduled to take advantage of the school holiday period when fewer passengers travel on the network. Passengers are advised to check their apps and transportnsw.info for live information on service changes to their line.

This weekend, the Rail Repair Plan tackles the South Coast and T4 Illawarra lines, with 1650 crew working on 274 sites along 105km of track.

On Saturday and Sunday, buses will replace South Coast trains between Dapto and Central, and between Port Kembla and Wollongong.

Trains will continue to run to a changed timetable between Bomaderry and Kiama, and between Kiama and Dapto.

On the T4 Illawarra Line, buses will replace trains between Cronulla, Waterfall and Central. Some buses will start and end at Redfern or Sydenham. Passengers wishing to travel to T8 Airport & South Line stations should change at Central or catch a bus.
